	Does anyone know of/or have a replacement program for the DECwindows
session manager????  I hate the Ultrix4.0 version and I never had a use for
it in the past anyway.

	What I would like is to have it run the dxwm window manager and
then exec the stuff in my ~/.X11Startup file.  That's it.  The Ultrix4.0
version is continualy running and uses too much memmory.  I know this is a
bug(the running constantly part), but I want to do a way with dxsession
anyway, even if it was fixed.

	The replacement doesn't have to be anything fancy.  It can be a shell
script even, but I've tried that and can't seem to get it to work, but maybe
someone else has.

	I'm running a DECstation3100 with a beta test version of Ultrix4.0,
UWS2.4, but I bet a version for Ultrix3.x UWS2.0 would work.

Thanks in advance,
-franco

PS.  Please respond via email, I'm too busy to read the newsgroup. Thanks!!!
