You could start Fvwm first then the other programs then a "logout"
client, such as xlogout. On my University account I do this:

    xconsole -geoemtry -0-0 &
    fvwm &
    xterm &
    ...
    exec xlogout -geometry +0+0

Xlogout is a little program that displays a window with a button in
it. When you click the button, it terminates.
