The right file is .xinitrc which you can read about and customize. 
I use fvwm and have the files
.fvwmrc
.xinitrc.fvwm

in my home directory.  You would use .fvwm95rc or something like that.

I start X with the command

startx .xinitrc.fvwm  
  (or actually an alias to this so I don't have to type so much). 

The .xinitrc.fvwm file looks like

if [ -f $HOME/.Xresources ]; then
  xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources 
fi

# Set screen saver to occur after 5 minutes
xset s 300 &

xclock -g 40x40-5+0 -bw 0 &
xload -g 60x40+900+0 -bw 0 &

# Add xterm access from hosts chaos, peakie, elsie
xhost +chaos +peakie +elsie &
xterm -sb -sl 3000 -fn 10x20 -ls -g 80x40+159+147 &

# The next lines start xterms in the upper right corner of the 
# virtual desktop

xterm -sb -sl 500 -j -ls -fn 10x20 -g 80x25+2800+70 & 
xterm -sb -sl 500 -j -ls -fn 10x20 -g 80x25+2700+180 &
# Start fvwm now
fvwm


Try it.
