I use the xlaunch program and have it set to start when I log in. It can start programs for you, if you want anything started from the beginning, but you can have it run no programs and simply wait for any X programs to come along. If you run xlaunch with no arguments it pops up a short interactive GUI for setting up the configuration. And of course "man xlaunch" will tell you more.
