Forgive my ignorance, but what does the X11R4 xinit program feature? I
always thought that it was basically like the supplied shell script,
in that it invokes a user's ~/.xinitrc when found...

The "exec window manager" may have been just a touch nicer for most
people, except the "exec xterm" does allow you to swap out window
managers without ending the X session.
