It is correct as written. xmonad does not clean up after child processes started before it and as such should not be 'exec'ed.
Hi, I thought the purpose (or one of...) was to replace the .xinitrc "process" with the xmonad process. Then you can put additional commands into .xinitrc *after* the exec to provide some kind of functionality in the event xmonad fails to start. A la: # do some setup stuff exec xmonad x-terminal-emulator thus giving either xmonad, or if it fails (never!) an xterm to at least show that X is working. I am happy to be educated otherwise ;) A
