By the sounds of it you've done the hard part. I would imagine that all 
you need to do now is start a windows manager. Try typing fvwm or twm and 
see what happens. This will enable you to move windows and the like around. 
You can automate starting of the windows manager with your .xinitrc? 
file (can't quite remember!).

You'll no doubt need to do some tweaking of fvwm to get it to your 
personal tastes. The master configuration file is system.fvwm  in...
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm/ (well, something like that anyway).

Yep.

Hope this helps.
