The best thing to do is to have a ~/.xinitrc that does something like
this (copy the system.xinitrc that is somewhere in your file system to
your home dir):
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Some other commands that loads X resource or setup the keyboard, but
# none that starts any application!
xsm
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
"xsm" is the X session manager. With it you can have some configured
sessions and choose one of them via a menu at startup. See xsm(1).
Or, if you prefer something simpler, take a ~/.xinitrc like this:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Some other commands that loads X resource or setup the keyboard.
fvwm2 &
xterm
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, as xterm is your last application, you can safelly quit the
window manager and start another from the menu (fvwm) or from the
xterm. You have to do a "logout" at the xterm to quit your session.
Hope this helps.
Emilio.
