Why not use the Menu System. There are already items for changing the
current window manager like
?package(icewm):command="/usr/bin/X11/icewm" icon="none" needs="wm" \
section="WindowManagers" title="IceWM"
which most of the small and nice Window-Managers implement cleanly. (At
least in potato)
Why not us this info?

(I already thought of changing wdm to use this, when I'm done with the
strange radius/nis-combination I have to cope with actually).
