Hows does one go about NOT running the DECwindows session manager?  I
assume it involves setting things up right in /etc/ttys, among other
things. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the "Xprompter" and X
starting automaticlly at login (but I can live with that).  Is there
any reason in particular to run the session manager?  I'm running
Motif instead of DECwindows, if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
   Dan
