I'm sure that xsession (others suggested this) is a good solution, but
just for variety, I suggest using xlogout.

I'm not sure if xlogout comes with the standard X distribution -- it's
a program that opens a window and terminates when you click on it.

My .xsesssion file looks like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    ...start stuff...
    fvwm &
    exec xlogout

This way, you can enter an xterm, search for the pid of fvwm, then
enter this:

    kill 4242 ; sleep 5 ; olwm &

You can get back to fvwm similarly:

    kill 1717 ; sleep 5 ; fvwm &

(Assuming 4242 is the pid of fvwm, and 1717 is the pid of olwm.)
