Let me ask this question to clarify things:

multiwindow mode (startxwin) -- Is this the same thing as "--rootless"

I read the thread, and there is alot about changing .xinitrc to add a
window manager.
But I did not read how to add a window manager to .startxwinrc or a parameter.

I need to run fvwm rootless like:
