There are a lot of different solutions. The one that I use on all
platforms is the program "xsession".

You can FTP it from ftp.x.org. I think it's like in /pub/utilities.
"xsession" is used as an X11 session manager. This then, in turn,
starts the window manager. If you use xsession as the last active
process in your .xinitrc file, it will hold up X for you.

Unfortunately, that means you have to use xsession to log out of X.
That's why in fvwm I use FvwmForm invoked with the name QuitVerify.
Notice the "kill".
