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.
