wmanager
—
choose a window manager and launch it
The wmanager
program displays a choice of the window
managers listed in the ~/.wmanagerrc file. When one is
picked, the related command is written to standard output, intended to be used
by shell scripts. If the program is exited without choosing a window manager,
“-1” is written to standard output.

~/.xsession file:
WM="$(wmanager -geometry
+570+585)"
...
exec $WM
