Ah, thanks for pointing this out! So all you would need to do is to add the WM after the backgrounded commands without exec or an ampersand so the script will wait for the WM to exit before running the other commands. Or do you have to add the exec before the last command so X will be shut down after the command terminates? Becuase from man startx I understand that the exec before the WM is needed so X will shut down.
