You _could_ change it manually to launch your window manager of choice when
using startx by changing the symlink:
helios@qntal:/etc/alternatives$ ls -hal x-window-manager
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2003-11-06 17:03 x-window-manager -> /usr/bin/wmaker
But another advice might be installing wdm or another xdm clone which supports
window manager selection. When you machine is booted you get presented a
graphical login prompt with a dropdown box which lists all available window
managers.
