We do this at the Reality Centre to flip our ONYX between multi-pipe and
multi-channel operation. Set your ONYX to autologin as guest ( Using Login
Setup in your System Manager tool )

Then every time you want to issue a setmon command and get back to a fully
working window manager do something like...

setenv DISPLAY :0.0
/usr/gfx/setmon -S 4++at++640x480_60
/usr/gfx/stopgfx
/usr/gfx/startgfx
touch /etc/autologin.on

It works for us - Tom Fuke worked it out.
