how do you use x without windowmanager

[khold]

I am wondering how you can load up X without loading up a window/desktop manager. For example, say you wanted to run make xconfig, but you dont want to load up KDE 2.0 to have to do so. By the way, I am currently using Mandrake 7.2

thanks

In your ~/.xinitrc have a single line

xterm &


And that should do it.
