So what should I specify for my favourite windowmanager? In the ~/.xinitrc 
I now made gnome-session a windowmanager, so that it starts instead of 
metacity, but now it's gconf-sanity-check that takes up the 99% of CPU 
power and still nothing happens. Can I maybe use gdm somehow? (But trying 
this hasn't worked either so far...)

Ok...

Thanks and bye
