Most likely something in your .xsession is not firing off correctly.

1)  The last line in your .xsession is not put in the background is it?
2)  when you start your windowmanager, log the output to a file
	e 2>&1 >/tmp/xlog 
and after it dies again, take a look in there and see if it tells you why
the windowmanager is dying.
