If you _must_ use XP or 2K, look at cygwin; check their mailing list
archive for 'useful cygwinism - explorer here' it makes windows almost

Not sure how to approach session management with startx; I am the only
one who uses my system, and it only reboots or restarts X when I install
a new kernel.... session management is a non-issue for me. I use bash/expect
scripts, ~/.bashrc entries, and blackbox menu items to get my workspaces
the way I like 'em with a couple (single letter) commands and mouse clicks.
