Then put the commands of
your choice after fvwm.
It would probably help to look at a few sample .xsession files. In all the
examples, replace fvwm with the window manager of your choice.
The simplest .xsession just runs a window manager:
exec fvwm
This will run fvwm, and the X session will end when fvwm exits. If you do
it without the exec, everything will appear to behave the same way, but
behind the scenes .xsession will hang around waiting for fvwm, and
.xsession will exit after fvwm does. Using exec is slightly better because
fvwm replaces .xsession instead of leaving it waiting. You can use the ps
or top command to verify this.
A more useful .xsession runs a few clients before starting the window
manager. For example, you might want some xterms and an xclock whenever
you start X. No problem; just enter xterm & xterm & xclock & exec fvwm.
Two xterms and an xclock start up in the background, and then the window
manager is launched. When you quit the window manager, you'll also quit X.
You might try it without the backgrounding just to see what happens.
