Thanks, Ian. It seemed to help in that I can now access the desktop controls, but exitting is still a problem. I took a snapshot of my processes before and after the attempted exit (http://www.doe.carleton.ca/~fma/VNC_dtsession.gif). It looks like xstart, Xsession, and dtsession all terminate, but dtwm does not.
Any other suggestions welcome.
