I think that's another problem. If you leave any xclients running, then
X won't quit. I have the same issue (problem? nonproblem?), but never
was bothered to investigate. If I forget to quit my xclients before
leaving dwm, I just kill the server with the zap salute
(ctrl-alt-backspace).

The sleep timeout still applies, but obviously it's not the case :).
