To be sure, now I did the following. I created a new user with default
skel. I just added a .xinirc containing just "cwm", and the cwmrc I use
with my normal user, which includes this bindings:
bind-key M-s window-move-left
bind-key M-f window-move-down
bind-key M-d window-move-up
bind-key M-g window-move-right
I run startx and press M-f or M-d right after X is loaded and X
crashes. I could do it also with fvwm2.
Anyways, below I paste my normal user ~/xinitrc, if you find something
on it that could cause problems let me know.
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
wm=cwm
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults
setxkbmap es
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
