If it will start up automatically depends on Your systems configurations. I 
guess no. ;)
Then do:
startx $(PATH_TO_THE_WMs_EXECUTABLE)
to start the WM.
I.e. for Fluxbox it should be:
startx /usr/bin/fluxbox

That will work, when Your display 0 is free. Otherwise (display 0 is occupied 
and display 1 ist free):
startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :1

If You like to, write a shell-script or define an alias. ;)

Try it and see. ;)
It depends on Your runlevel configuration. ;)
