I now have a ~/.xsession file that reads as follows: xbindkeys& Esetroot -scale /usr/share/gdm/themes/MythTV/background.png& mythfrontend& sawfish Which works fantastically, and does everything I want... bar the fact that when I quit MythTV it drops me to Sawfish... any ideas how I can get Sawfish to quit when MythTV's gone? I'm guessing the same situation would be present if I used Ratpoison, so I guess I'm asking for a .xsessionism on how to quit the WM once the application's died.
