I'm running Debian unstable with gdm, and I just have an executable
script ~/.xsession which (after running ssh-agent, etc.) runs xmonad.
As, before, it ran ion3.

The rule is that once ~/.xsession exits the session ends.  So normally
the window manager is the last thing you run, and it's not run in the
background.
