You should edit (or create) an ~/.xsession file that look like:

# things you want to do before starting your session

case in $1 
    
    default)
       fvwm2
    ;;

    kde)
       startkde
    ;;

    gnome)
       gnome-session
    ;;

    fvwm2)
       fvwm2
    ;;

    *)
       fvwm2
    ;;

esac
    
# things you want to do before leaving X
