With xdm, its just put in ~/.xsession-errors or /tmp/xses-$USER, or
wherever your xdm is configured to do that (look at the Xsession file in
the xdm dir).
I always thought that if I was a WM developer, I'd be using Xnest to have a
smaller virtual X server inside a window in my normal X server that I could
restart at will without loosing my normal environment. I'm not sure what
has Xnest tho, XFree86 definatly does. I remmeber you doing your
development under AIX (from previous mailing list posts), and I'm not sure
if that exists in their server or even if there is a port of XFree to AIX.
