I found this:
    if [ "$CMD" ]; then
       # Delay to make sure the window manager is active
       # by waiting for the desktop to say its finished loading
       dbus-wait org.matchbox_project.desktop Loaded
       exec $CMD
   fi

Can I safely just disable the dbus-wait or do I need something else
there, e.g. sleep for a few seconds, ...?  Maybe I should patch dbus-wait
(which you, Ross, wrote) to be able to specify the timeout?
