And then... what? that's it. Fvwm is running within the session
manager - you can do as you were. :)

The "killall" command is used so that the current running window manager
is kicked out from under the session manager, replacing it with fvwm.
With fvwm-themes, this is just fvwm, so --replace will still work,
providing you call not fvwm-themes, but:

fvwm -f themes-rc

(IIRC -- it has been a while since I last looked at fvwm-themes.) As
for gnome-session-manager -- it's just called 'gnome-session'.

It should be OK where it is.
