Re: [dwm] X Display Manager

A simple "exec startx" should do the job as well I believe, since that
replaces your login shell's process...

I've got this in my .profile:

read -t 3 -p "start X11? [y]/n: "
if test "$?" != 0 -o "$REPLY" = y -o "$REPLY" = Y -o "$REPLY" = ""
then
    exec startx 1>~/.xout 2>~/.xerr
fi

It contains some bashianisms in the read statement though, so I guess
it has to be adapted a bit for other shells.
