Thanks, that makes it clear.
When I tried it before, I was trying to exec the wm in the script (like in .xinitrc), which wasn't working. Instead I should be setting USERWM in the script. Correct?
I guess my follow-up question is:
If I need to invoke another process before the wm starts, how is that done?
In the "wrong" .xinitrc method, that pre-process just comes on a line before the wm command.
I could do: USERWM="/usr/bin/somethingelse && /usr/X11/bin/twm". Is there a better way?
