Actually you don't need any window manager at all. If .xsession only
holds the name of the application in question, quitting the
application will logout the user.

(As a side note: for kiosks where authentication is not needed, you
might try starting X from /etc/inittab rather than using a display
manager. Use the application to run as an argument to X).

As quite a different side note: as the subject header of this mail
shows, pushing the name of the mailing-list into the subject header
has its price. I can not see the benefit of doing so.
