I assume it involves setting things up right in /etc/ttys, among other things. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the "Xprompter" and X starting automaticlly at login (but I can live with that). Is there any reason in particular to run the session manager? I'm running Motif instead of DECwindows, if that makes any difference.
