so should be:
wmtime &

what ever you `exec` becomes the session manager
(usually your windowmanager) nothing else after this in .xsession is
looked at and if you close this process your whole Xsession goes away.

the "&" backgrounds the task and returns control to the .xsession
script, without this your startup would hang (apps that exit quickly
like xsetroot don't need this, but it won't hurt)
