Re: Window manager switcher



This may not be exactly what your looking for, but xsm (x session
manager) can sort of do something like that. You have to set up
sessions, and AFAIK you can't change sessions midstream. Some window
managers are "session aware" so changing your window manager will be
saved for the next session -- provided you also don't have an entry to
start a window manager in that particular session.

The problem with gnome and kde is they are finicky about their window
managers. However, you can set up both gnome and kde sessions as well as
bare bone fvwm. You chose your session after login. xsm is suggested by
gdm in potato and the set-up works very well. I have flwm,
Enlightenment and IceWm sessions managed by xsm, and then let gdm fire
up my gnome session using sawmill. 

It's easy to use, check it out.
