Thanks, that makes it clear. 

When I tried it before, I was trying to exec the wm in the script (like in 
.xinitrc), which wasn't working. Instead I should be setting USERWM in the 
script. Correct?

I guess my follow-up question is:

If I need to invoke another process before the wm starts, how is that done?

In the "wrong" .xinitrc method, that pre-process just comes on a line before 
the wm command.

I could do: USERWM="/usr/bin/somethingelse && /usr/X11/bin/twm". Is there a 
better way?
