xinit exits when the last thing in the xinitrc returns
control. Therefore, you need to not put a & after the last thing in
your .xinitrc.

You can easily just run an xterm as the last thing and type the name
of your favorite window manager into that window. I had a friend who
once spent the (five minutes) constructing a little app with tk that
showed a set of buttons for different window managers and he pushed
the one he wanted.
