It doesn't really matter if the last thing is the window manager
particularly, but certainly the example above won't work: because wmaker
is run in the foreground (without '&'), nautilus won't be run until it
exits.
When your .xsession script terminates, so does your X session, and
you'll be logged out. The last thing in your .xsession should therefore
be something long-running. Most people use a window manager or a session
manager for this, but it's also possible to use an xterm, xconsole, or
something along those lines.
