One program I like is 'xsession'. Run it in foreground as the last client in
your X init file (.xinitrc, .xsession, or whatever) and it manages
your session, including startup of the window manager, e.g.:
xsession -defaultWM fvwm2
This has a few benefits: it allows you to switch window manager on the
fly; if your WM fails (.fvwm2rc error, for example) you still get
your X clients and can switch into another WM (say twm) while you
fix the problem; it has a text pane that shows error messages, including
those from the WM.
It's probably at somewhere like
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/contrib/applications/
or your local X mirror.
