If you don't mind making your startup fvwm dependent you could
start just fvwm from your .xinitrc (or .xsession), and
use the InitFunction to start all your apps.
If you want a non-fvwm specific solution, and you want exiting
fvwm to end you X session there is still a way.
You can do something more like this in your .xinitrc/.xsessionrc
(NOTE: the delay factors were hand tuned for a Sun3/50 with 4M of
RAM, no disk, X11R3, and twm; they could probbabably be made
smaller!!!):
# Stuff to start before the window manager
xrdb -load -retain $HOME/.Xresources
xconsole -geometry 450x120+0+0 -iconic &
# Set the window manager
TWM=fvwm
# Wait for the console to start
sleep 3
$TWM &
TWMNO=$!
# Wait for the window manager to start
sleep 6
# Now start as much cruft as you like
xload &
repeat 500 xterm &
netscape &
# This waits untill the windows manager exits. As long as you
# don't add more stuff after it when you exit the window manager
# your X session will end.
wait $TWMNO
