markie,

  yours seems to be common problem.  i bet you do a `xinit -e uwm` in
  some incantation or another.  that doesn't leave you with much of a
  shell to run in the open console window.

  try instead, the following: `xinit -C -n console -e ~/.X -- Xsun 0 -a 2`

  and my .X file looks something like, well a lot like:

#!/bin/csh -f
sed "s/\([^ ]*:0\)/$DISPLAY/g" < ~/.uwmrc > /tmp/uwmrc$$
mv /tmp/uwmrc$$ ~/.uwmrc
uwm &
xsetroot -gray &
xclock =106x106+648+4 &
xhost [hostnames deleted]
exec $SHELL

  note that the last thing that is done is to exec your favorite
  shell in the console window to give you something reasonable to work
  with. 

  now you can get the hell out of x (on your sun)--simply exit your
  shell (^D, exit, etc.).  the shell will die, taking x with it.
