I don't normally use dtwm, but I do have a hacked together method to do so on
the rare occasions when I need to w/ VNC.  Try something like this in your
xstartup file:

======================================================================
LANG=C
export LANG
# note - Xsession seems to be screwing up the keyboard mapping
#/usr/dt/bin/Xsession &
# more simply, just start the dtwm:
#dtwm &
# but that misses a lot of the COSE/CDE startup...
# this seems to work correctly all around:
#dtsession &
# and this allows me to force dtwm instead of fvwm which I normally force
# as well as getting the .dtprofile settings for using xlockmore for the
# dt screen saver:
echo 'dtsession*wmStartupCommand: /usr/dt/bin/dtwm' | xrdb -merge
/bin/ksh -c ". ~/.dtprofile ; dtsession -norestore" &
======================================================================

I left all of the comments in there so you could could see some of the various
gyrations I went through to figure out what to do to get it to work more or
less properly with my, uh, unusual setup.  The simple 'dtsession &' line might
be sufficient for your setup.

I know others have posted how they do it here as well, you could probably
search through the archives to find several other solutions.

I do this under Solaris 5.7, BTW.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
