Ah I never feel offended by the occasional 
"use X instead” it’s a valid suggestion as long as
reason is stated. Everybody has their reasons.

I know it for the quality man pages
plus it’s the only OS that truly installs
anywhere I try.

Frankly I have tired cwm and although
I really appreciate the source style, 
I always end up feeling handicapped
compared to i3wm.
You should look at the video under i3wm.org <http://i3wm.org/>
It’s a BSD licensed tiling wm that does vertical
and horizontal automatic window splitting for 
arbitrarily complex layouts.
It’s like going from nano to vim.
CWM is my preferred base wm though.

Those are neat suggestions,
haven’t tried autosleep on display yet
should look into man xidle

Ahhh, dammit xsession not xinitrc. 
You see I have a bunch of OpenBSD installs,
not all up to date
and I always forget when things change-.-
