Re: Window manager switcher

Carl,

seems you know the standard ways -- have a look at the wmanager
package (brandnew in potato):

$ apt-cache show wmanager
  Package: wmanager
  Version: 0.2-1
  Priority: optional
  Section: x11
  Maintainer: Tommi Virtanen <tv@debian.org>
  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1), libfltk1, libstdc++2.10, mesag3, xlib6g (>= 3.3.5)
  Architecture: i386
  Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/x11/wmanager_0.2-1.deb
  Size: 13964
  MD5sum: 3e746040162ced9a0f376ca4cac765c8
  Description: Select a window manager at X startup
   wmanager is a small X11 application for selecting a window manager
   at X startup. wmanager looks for a file named '.wmmanagerrc' in
   the user's home directory which contains a list of window managers.
  installed-size: 41

I didn't install it because I only work in wmaker now, but from the
accompanying README it seems close to what you're thinking of.

Greetings,
