Well I had hoped to avoid "replacing" getty...  So what I did was kick
off an infinite (shudder) shell loop from rc.  After playing with the
screen timeout options (sun, DON'T DO ANYTHING BUT THE DEFAULT!!!
DON'T EVEN CONFIRM THE DEFAULT WITH A SWITCH!!!)  it seems to be
running ok.  ie,

while true; do xinit getty ... -- X ... ; done

(xterms sometimes "miss" uwm and end up in the process table forever,
but...)

This is X12.  Hah! Had you going there for a second! X11.1.
