Do you have a .xinitrc that is starting a window
manager?
If you want to use startx and want to use a window manager
via .xinitrc (such as fvwm2 or wmaker), then you also
need to add a .xserverrc that invokes XWin WITHOUT
the multiwindow option:
e.g.
$ cat .xserverrc
exec X :0 -clipboard
$ cat .xinitrc
exec wmaker
