We are interested in running an Xview application (requires olwm
presence)  in such a way that the user could either 

	a) login and automatically enter the application.  Exiting
	   the application would exit windows.  Ideally they could not
	   invoke any other programs from the window manager menu.

	or preferably

	b) Have windows up and running on a workstation, log in to a 
	   window, which then automatically brings up the application.
	   Exiting the application would place the user back at the
	   login state.  


The only way I have managed to exit olwm without using the menu is by
explicitly killing it.  Is there any other way?  Xterm windows support 
logins, and it would be nice not to bite the X start-up cost with each
login, as these workstations will be dedicated to the above-mentioned 
application.   Does open windows support any such procedure?


Thanks,
