Hello folks,
I'm new to fvwm and have a question

Currently in my .xinitrc file I have the following

fvwm-themes-start &
xterm $(XT_GEOM)+0+$(XT_Y0 $XT_ARGS &
xterm $(XT_GEOM)+540+$(XT_Y)  $XT_ARGS &
etc.

Its an easy way for me to space the windows and specify the xterm args
in one line.

Anyway, I find that if I kill one of the xterms, it kills fvwm as well -
this is my problem - I'ld like for fvwm to stay up with my other xterms.

Hey Frank,
I think the problem is that your fvwm command should be the last thing in the .xinitrc file, and without the & putting it in the background. I could be totally wrong here, not an expert, but my observation has been that X automatically closes when the last program in .xinitrc is terminated (or goes into the background), which I think is why your X is closing when you kill the xterm which is the last app in your .xinitrc. Hope that works.
