Which Linux distribution do you use?
I'm no KDE expert, but probably KDE is started from a file
called xinitrc or .xinitrc. On my system, the global
xinitrc is located at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
Usually you can override it by creating a .xinitrc in your
home directory. All commands in this file are executed
when X starts up and as soon as the last command returns,
X is shut down. Thus, the last command should be fvwm2.
All other commands must be started in the background.
A simple example is this:
xterm &
exec fvwm2
I prefer to start the window manager with 'exec' so that the
shell it is started from doesn't consume memory, but it works
without it. Just make sure that your PATH is correct.
