You can install something like selectwm, and in your .xinitrc make the last line be "exec selectwm". After your next startx, configure selectwm.
Thanks: selectwm gets me most of the way there. However, it offers me a choice of zero window managers. There is no example .selectwmrc file, no docs about how to put wm alternatives into .selectwmrc, and I can't get through to the homepage.
Please could someone show me an example .selectwmrc file with a few alternative wms? Then I'll be sorted.
Best wishes Ivan
