Sure. I'm sure there are better ways, but I would do this:
startx& sleep 600;killall icewm
I happen to use icewm as my window manager. That would read in English as
"Run startx. Wait ten minutes, then run killall on the icewm program,
ending the X session."
You could also just wait a few minutes, then when you're satisfied press
Ctrl-Alt-F1, which will drop you back into the first virtual terminal (while
leaving X running).
