When starting X by typing "startx", then yes. If you are using xdm or
some other display-manager (don't confuse it with window-manager),
then make the changes in ~/.xsession
If you are using a session-manager like xsm, then make the changes in
the session-menu.

Don't panic if this sounds chaotic; in most cases the man-page will
tell you where to put an appropriate commandline. I guess "man qvwm"
will tell you where to put a commandline that starts qvwm.
