Could you test your theory by renaming ~/.xsession to, say,
~/.HIDDEN.xsession, then starting a new X session?
There are other places than ~/.xinitrc that could have caused fvwm to
be invoked from startx, e.g. /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.

Oh! There is a file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which sources
/etc/X11/Xsession, which in turn sources ~/.xsession. D'oh. Fascinating.
