Some X servers will die when the first application to connect to them
dies.  In this case, if you ever exited app1, your server would exit.

The way I do it (in my .xinitrc) is:

	sawfish &
	managerId=$!
	sleep 2
	aap1 &
	app2 &
	...
	wait $managerId

The sleep 2 is to make sure that sawfish is the first thing to connect
to the server.
