Let's have a look at the current ~/.xinitrc
------------------------------------------
swmbg /usr/share/swm/pixmaps/morocco.xpm &
/usr/share/swm/menu.sh &
exec swm
------------------------------------------
It runs three applications: the wallpaper loader, the menu
and the wm. Note that every application line terminates
with & (except the last, which starts with exec).

You can remove any or all of those applications and put
in your own (eg rxvt). Just remember to end each line
with & (except the last).

Use the -geometry parameter.

And you can use ALT-F4 to close certain windows if you do
not need them.
