Try telling us what's in your $home/.xsession This file is what's loaded when you use startx. Maybe It's trying to start WM with the argument -clientId and no such argument exists for WM. I don't know what the arguments for WM are because I use BlackBox, but try editing the line in $home/.xsession that says something like "exec /bin/X11/windowmaker -clientId blabla..." and remove the -clientId part.
