You can write a shellscript which launch every part of your
desktop in your favorite manner. This script is started by xinit
(look at manpage for xinit) and its default-name is ".xinirc".
(if you use xdm, name its name ".session").
Every program in this script has to be launchend in background,
but the last programm not.

In above script, let your window-manager be the last programm. If you
exit it by menu, the script will be finished.
