Sorry; I know it can be done because I've seen systems (live CDs?) do it (they even had a nice menu where you could click the wm you wanted IIRC), but I never learned details.

Yeah, I’m guessing running startx without one, then executing one on top, that way X doesn’t cascade terminate when the session ends or something. This is something that would improve workflow in situations where I want to use a floating wm, without terminating all windows.
