Use a .xsession or .xinitrc file in your wife's home directory.. put
something like so: (This is mine, an .xsession file - You also have to
have "allow-user-xsession" in /etc/X11/config)
Oh yeah, make .xsession executable.
----------------- ~/.xsession
#!/bin/sh
# Put stuff here you want loaded each X session. (use a '&' after each
# item except windowmanager below)
# start windowmanager
exec [windowmanager] <--- your wm, i.e.: icewm, afterstep, kde etc...
