I prefer mwm to fvwm

And I _hate_ session managers -- that's why I dumped XFCE for Blackbox.
Every XFCE upgrade was a nightmare because session manglement was default
ON regardless of my previous setting for it.  I have a couple of apps
(xconsole and xdaliclock) that run in the XDM root window and transfer to
the users window on login.  With session manglement, there's one more
xdaliclock running each login.  After a user has about 200 xdaliclocks
down in the corner, the system starts to get real sluggish.
