I do this at the end of /etc/inittab:
ki:4:respawn:/bin/su test -c "cd && /usr/bin/X11/xinit"
which starts xinit as user test.
a proper $userhome/.xinitrc will start anything you like
I start fvwm95 with a very small menu. there is only one menu-entry: netscape
if X terminates init restarts it. IMHO very usable.
