Hi Nicolas,

maybe patching wmmii is a way.
The patch could make wmii write a /var/run/wmii.pid file.
If the user has killed wmii to change either resolution or rotation you
can loop. If the user has quite wmii piecfully it could remove the pid
file indicating that the loop should be quit as well?

restartWmii(){
  kill `cat /var/run/wmii.pid`
}

I would prefer this because you don't have to remove a file to indicate
normal exits.
