I use a similar approach, but ask the user if the WM termination was intended:

      xterm -e tail -F ~/.wmii/wmiirc.log &

      while true; do
        ck-launch-session wmii
        xmessage 'Do you really want to quit wmii?' \
                 -buttons 'Yes:0,No:1' -center \
                 -default 'No' -timeout 30 \
        && break
      done

Also, if an unrecoverable exception occurs in my WM configuration, I
launch an xterm to give the user the chance to fix the problem and
then I offer to reload the WM configuration for them:

https://github.com/sunaku/wmiirc/blob/master/lib/wmiirc/loader.rb#L99

Cheers.
