Dear Marco:
So, are you saying that not starting xterm is by design?
yes

The manpage above is a bit outdated; creating a .startxwinrc with
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
xbiff -geometry -430+5 &
oclock -geometry 75x75-0-0 &
xload -geometry -80-0 &
xterm -geometry +0+60 -ls &
xterm -geometry +0-100 &
xconsole -geometry -0+0 -fn 5x7 &
exec fbpanel -profile multiwindow
and running startxwin from the text console results in

It is an example....
try just
xterm -geometry +0+60 -ls &
xterm -geometry +0-100 &
exec xclock
killing xclock will shutdown the X server.
You can use any other program for that.
