wmanager
choose a window manager and launch it

The wmanager program displays a choice of the window managers listed in the ~/.wmanagerrc file.

If the program is exited without choosing a window manager, “-1” is written to standard output.

To start using wmanager, create a ~/.wmanagerrc file - generally with wmanagerrc-update(1) - and add something like the following at the end of your ~/.xsession file:

WM="$(wmanager -geometry +570+585)"
...
exec $WM

See also wmanager-loop(1) for a nicer way to start wmanager.
