I start it another way.

I use a no-window session and run the x11start command whith
the following .x11start file...

 
# PMS Laurent DEGEILH METEOFRANCE/SCEM/PREVIMAR #
# 42,Av G. Coriolis Tel = (33/0) 5 61 07 82 63 #
# 31057 TOULOUSE Fax = (33/0) 5 61 07 82 09 #
# FRANCE e-mail = Laurent.Degeilh_at_meteo.fr #


#! /bin/sh
#####################################################
### X Window System Starting-Configuration Script ###
#####################################################
###
### This shell script sets initial X11 clients. It is
### passed as a parameter to xinit and run by xinit along with the
### X11 server. When this script terminates the X Window System will
### terminate.
###
### 1) Standard output and error output for programs started by this script
### are redirected to $HOME/.x11startlog. This avoids output to the screen
### that would detract from the window display. If an error occurs starting
### X11, the logfile would be a good place to look for a clue to the problem.
### You can view the file by typing ``more .x11startlog'' at the command
### prompt of your home directory.

exec >$HOME/.x11startlog 2>$HOME/.x11startlog

### 2) Setup a default WMDIR if it is not set (for use by HP Windows/9000).

: ${WMDIR:="/dev/screen"}; export WMDIR

# if there was no $HOME/.Xdefaults, $doxrdb is set to
# 'xrdb -nocpp -load /usr/lib/X11/sys.Xdefaults'
# otherwise this is a nop.

$doxrdb
unset doxrdb

### 4) The following X clients start as part of the initial window
### system environment. Users can change or add to these default clients
### to set up a custom environment. All clients started in this script
### should be run in the background.
###
### x11start can pass global parameters to this script. For example,
### it can pass a ``hostname:display.screen'' for all clients to use.
### Another use would be to pass an additional parameter that
### all of the clients accept, such as "-xrm *foreground blue". If the
### user does not pass in a parameter, '$_at_' is null.

/opt/hppd/bin/X11/fvwm2 $_at_ & # Start the Motif-based Window Manager.
#/usr/local/X11R5/bin/afterstep $_at_ & # Start the Motif-based Window Manager.


sleep 5 # Allow time for initializing mwm before starting other clients.
hpterm -C -geometry 80x24+1+1 $_at_ &

### Add client commands below, one command per line.
### End each command line with an ampersand (&).

### 5) The following "wait" call ensures that all terminated
### child processes are cleaned up (i.e., no <defunct> processes are
### left around).

wait

### 6) All X clients started by this script have terminated at this point.
### Now sleep forever (if this script terminates the window system will
### be terminated). When the window system is terminated with
### [Shift][CTRL][Reset] this script will be killed.

exec sleep 2000000000

### The window system is terminated when this script is terminated. ###
