Well, depending upon what system you are using: Here is how I have it in
hamm.
There is a file called window-managers , it's in /etc/X11
Install the desired wm and enter a path to it into that file.
That ought to take care of that.

No, it should be ok. Thats X shutting down.

You can turn the virtual desktop off in a number of ways:
1. Run xf86config and turn it off there. When you get to modes section,
just change the order to what you want, and answer no to the question
whether you want virtual desktop or not.
2. Edit XF86Config directly.
Scroll down to Display subsections and comment out the Virtual Dektop
lines.
