In most UNIX systems, this last command would be the window manager.
I'm not liking fbpanel (although I will give it a try) and I don't
like using an XTerm as my "last" command, since I often close/reopen
them all when making changes to my .bashrc/.bash_profile.

Are there any suggestions from the list for some *other* program that
won't use any resources that I can use as my final foreground command?

If you previously had an empty ~/.startxwinrc, I'd suggest putting 'sleep infinity' or even 'exec sleep infinity' into it.
