Someone posted something similar to this on the list a few time ago:

in dwm.c modify quit() to
void
quit(const Arg *arg) {
    if (arg->i)
        execlp("dwm", "dwm", NULL);
    running = False;
}

and an example in config.h:
    { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_q, quit, {.i = 1} },
    { MODKEY|ShiftMask|ControlMask, XK_q, quit, {.i = 0} },

It will work whatever app is already launched and whatever is in your
.xinitrc .xsession etc
