Scanning for Dash is easier since I can just check for
~/.athena_dash_interface and it will work on listable-only homedirs.
I supposed I could check for .twmrc and .mwmrc, but the presence of
those files is not necessarily indicative of current usage.
I'm also primarily concerned with Dash since it is going away. We can
add twm and mwm to the release (and I agree that twm should be in
there as a fallback; I'm less concerned about mwm) easily. We really
should make outreach to the remaining Dash users.
