exec with redirect and no other command redirects all further output of
the script - often handy for logging and stuff like this - so
$HOME/.xsession.$DISPLAY is his logfile...

uhm, not sure - but you can save some processes if your script
starts a long running process as last command - like .xsession and the
windowmanager. Without an exec your "bash .xsession" appears also in
the processlist...
