Don't let dtsession be the XDMCP session manager. Since you're not using
dtwm, I would guess that you're not using other features of CDE either, so
why bother with them (ie, dtsession, ttsession, etc)?

Instead of using wmStartupCommand, add an "exec /my/window/mgr". Then your
session will terminate when the window manager exits.

Make sense?
