Your problem is that you have no "magic" program -- when that program shuts 
down, the Xserver will. This "magic" program is indicated by a lack of "&" at
 the end. Here's an example of having "gnome-session" be the magic program --

# Start some nice programs
fvwm2 &
tkgoodstuff &
gnome-session


PS -- gnome-session launches the panel and the *-properties stuff for you.
