I don't want to spend much time on patching it. Better to say I can't.
Is there a way to make this "bad" loop optional?

eg 
wmii = {
  enableBadHackishSimpleWorkingForeverRestartLoop = true;
}

Then it wouldn't be default ( I don't know the default way to exit wmii
properly anyway.. I never switch .. ) and I'd be happy because I could
just use the hacky way which I already know to be working without much
testing or rebuilding etc..
I won't harm anyone stepping in fixing this properly. :)
