Hi list,
using something like
while true; do
xsetroot -name ...
sleep 1
done
exec dwm
in .xsession (I have to use KDM at work) as advertised in dwm's README
leaves the background loop running even after logout, which has some ugly
side effects: While not logged in,

Hi list,
The following fixes the problem:
while true; do
xsetroot -name ...
sleep 1
done statuspid=$!
dwm
wait $!
kill $statuspid
why not just:
dwm
kill $statuspid
I see no use in

I see no use in backgrounding dwm, and then waiting for it.
What did I miss?
Nothing; backgrounding dwm was left from trying a few other ways to do it.
Thank

Hi Andreas,
while xsetroot -name $(date +%a, %b %d %Y | %H:%M)
do
sleep 20
done
exec dwm
This is even nicer as the original instance of .xsession is not kept
running.

I don't understand how the while loop terminates

xsetroot will return a nonzero exit code because the xserver is no
longer running.
