NO DON"T DO IT!
This will stop processing the file and make the screensaver the last
thing that executes (ie no window manager) and if you close the
screensaver you Xwindows session will exit.
Only "exec" a windowmanager, unless you really want to do some thing
odd.
Sorry to shout, but I saw someone "exec xsetroot" which ofcourse
promptly closed the Xsession after changing the background color, and
they had a hell of a time figuring out "why X was crashing"

For some reason I've been unable to fathom if you start X from the
console with "startx" it looks at one config file if you're using xdm
(or gdm, wdm, what ever) to get a graphic login it looks at a
different one.
These two files are .xinitrc and .xsession, I've symlinked mine
(ln -s .xinitrc .xsession) and forgotten which method uses which file.
