    Actually, I didn't bother with a shell, I just had it run a command
    (shell script) by adding a variable "startupcmd".  For example, in
    my .menuwmrc file

	startupcmd="exec Xgo"

    where xgo is the monstrous:

xterm -ai -ls -n "X Windows" -sl 100 =80x40+0+0 \#100x100-228+40 &
(xhost +gremlin; \
 rsh gremlin -n "( \
    xclock -analog =100x100-268+40 `hostname`:0 & \
    xwho -e  =350x750-18+150 `hostname`:0 &) >& /dev/null"; \
 sleep 20; \
 xhost -gremlin) &
xuseti -abfhhhg \
    'system mailb motherb ipgw-people isode isode-people memnet trusted-people' \
    '%D %M %d %h:%m%z%b %a:%l1[%l4]' 'isi-gateway:core:%U' \
    'gremlin:%a:%l1' 'nrtc:sh:%l1' '%a:%l1' mrose &
exec xface -e -h gremlin =100x100-18+40 -u

    This avoids any funny problems with i/o, job control, and the like
    as xterm, et. al., handle all that nonsense.
