Actually, not necessarily. It depends on how the Window Manager was started. If
its started in the background by XDM that yes, you're right. But, if instead
fvwm is started using "exec" or simply called upon then as soon as fvwm stops
the XDM session is closed. That's how my setup is working.

Nice Words from F1 analysts:
  Murray: And look at the flames coming from the back of Berger's McLaren 
   James: Actually, Murray, they're not flames, it's the safety light
