I can't answer this one, but:

I have set up a script which runs executor full screen without a
window manager.  If executor is likely to be the only thing your wife
uses under X, you could create a script called 'executorx' which is
something like:

#!/bin/sh
xinit $HOME/.executorrc

and then your wife's home directory has a file .executorrc which on my
machine is:

#!/bin/sh
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
exec executor -privatecmap -nosplash -size 1280x960 -geometry +0+0

Where you set -size to the size your X server is going to be running
at (1024x768 in your case).  This works very well, since you can use a
private colour map and not notice the horrible colour flashes.  This
makes executor much faster, especially for graphics work.
