Or alternatively, if you are using xdm/gdm/kdm you can put your WM of
choice in .xsession like this simulated .xsession file:

% cat ~/.xsession

#!/bin/bash

xload &
xeyes &
/usr/bin/X11/fvwm2


Notice how the WM is the last entry & is not backgrounded.  When you WM
exits you are logged out.

I once ran xsnow as the WM on a publically accessible box where I wanted
to demo an open login but didn't want anyone able to do stuff (I was
running xearth & xsnow on a big screen at Humbug as it happens :)

Right now I'm
