When you run: startx. Startx reads information from .xsession.
This is how my .xsession looks like:

---

#! /bin/sh

xscreensaver &

if [ -x `which wmaker` ] ; then
    exec wmaker
elif [ -x `which twm` ] ; then
    exec twm
else
    exec xterm
fi  

---

Just change the exec wmaker to exec <your windowmanager>.
