Starting X from the command line and xdm use different user startup
files.  The file xdm uses is .xsession, and it's executed rather than
sourced so it has to have the executable bit set.

This could be accomplished with a script that would check if
wmaker.inst had been run before, and if not, running it, then running
wmaker, as the last thing executed in .xsession.  If you create a new
.xsession /usr/share/skel, it will be added to the home directories of
new users.
