In which case could be more than one X session running?
Sure. Well, you could have more than one X session running, sometimes I do, or another user in the system. Also, for some systems I use a login manager called qingy, and it loads an X session on the DISPLAY number 1 by default, so I can't assume that wmii will run on DISPLAY=:0. > Sometimes I use VNC - but in this case I would only have one display.

Give it a shot, my guess is that it will fail on the second wmii call but it will still work. -- redondos
