| so what do we gain from this compared to
| 
| xsetroot -solid black
| xemacs&
| kvt&
| icewm
| run_my_logout_cleaner
| 
| ?  In other words, what use has this wait?  Just wondering.

:-) Good question. I can't think of any good reason to actually
use it. I just used it to illustrate that there is nothing
magical going on with window managers and .xsession. The X session
just waits for anything that tells it to wait.

Sorry, I should have written this in the first place (but perhaps
someone can come up with a valid use... :-).
