Anyone have an answer?
X session startup is one of those things they keep "improving" so that nothing you find in google is ever accurate or up to date. I use fvwm myself, but I'm not sure how to make startx run any particular session. I login to X with KDM and install the xorg-x11-xinit-session package from yum which provides a "custom" start option you can select in the KDM login screen that will actually (gasp!) run your ~/.xsession script at startup (just like X always did for 30 years before they improved it).
Then I can run fvwm in my ~/.xsession script.
