	Thanks Dmitry.  It doesn't seem to like some of the wm's if you run
them like this but I remember from the pre-historic times that you just
need to exec xterm then start the wm from in there.  This worked for
twm, mwm & sawfish (mostly).  It didn't work for kde, but I'm not at all
sure I know how to start kde in the first place.  :-)
