Interesting.  That doesn't seem to accord at all with the manpages I'm
reading (for CentOS 7, but it would be beyond crazy for things to
differ that much).  I'll do a little more research and see what I can
find...

Yes, f.restart basically just does exec(argv) and restarts itself with
the same args.  I often have things setup so the 'ctwm' I call in
.xinitrc is actually a symlink, then I can just redirect it to a
different build easily and restart.  It's also possible that --replace
may work, depending on [I don't really know].

If you run something other than ctwm as the final thing holding
.xinitrc open, of course, you could just kill it and start a new one.
