Your session should end when the xinit ends, which will be when the script
~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession finishes. Generally, the script does some
configuration (xrdb, etc.), perhaps launches some utilities in the background,
and then executes a window manage in the foreground. When that process
finishes, the X server should shut down. Some people run a window manager in
the background and use some other process to terminate the session, like a
console window or just an ordinary xterm.

You can do that in .xinitrc/.xsession, or in the initialisation functions in
.fvwm2rc.

This shouldn't be necessary: there's something wrong. Exiting one process
(whichever is last launched from .xinitrc/.xsession) should be sufficient.
