Your second question does answer the first. Typically what I do is login
on the console and then execute "open xinit". The open command is used
to start another terminal session. You can hot key using the alt + ctrl/act
keys. I think this is described in the documentation on the Open command.
The open command can take a program as an option. The "open xinit"
command starts the new session and executes the xinit command. When you
quit MWM the X server will also be terminated and you will be returned
to your console session. You can also flip between the X session and
other virtual terminal sessions using the hot key combination described
above.
