Only put a -kill statement in the xstartup script if you're sure on the
display number. Otherwise, it will not work as expected: -kill needs a
display number.

In a lot of machines, twm is available. IN a lot of other machines, twm is
not available. From the vnc side, it is not known what window managers are
available and wich not.
I frequently used the ability to kill the running window manager and
exchange it with an other one on the fly: With the default settings, just
kill the twm and invoke the new window manager in a open xterm.

For the smaller systems, don't run an entire session, better only invoke the
window manager (if possible).

How does the user see which xterm to kill to end the session? Better give it
a proper title and the -C option to catch the console messages or run a
`tail -f xerrorfile` to make it console-like.

I vote for the dummy|xterm for default since CDE (dtsession) is available on
commercial systems only!
For the linux world, don't forget KDE and Gnome!

Does that work? Better add a `| cut -f1 -d.` to strip of the subdisplay.
