That been said, pretty much anything can be used to control the life
time of your session...

You could think of a script like:

  #!/bin/sh
  xfwm4&
  exec xclock

That would spawn xclock as the last program, then use this script as
your xsession and the session will remain alive as long as xclock is
there, i.e. when you close the xclock window, it terminates your
"session"...

That's just an example, though.

Cheers,
Olivier
