That's how I do it with WindowMaker: create a file .Xclients in your
home directory with the path of the executable (for me it's
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker). Use chmod to make that file executable ('chmod 755
.Xclients'). startx and WindowMaker gets started :-). If you want to use
KDE again just rename .Xclients ('mv .Xclients .Xclients-wm'). startx and
KDE starts. You may even automate this process in a little shell-script.
Maybe I'll write one.

That's a *good* question! I asked that here before and got no answer. As
far as I can see that is possible but nowhere cleanly documented. Will
keep looking for this and tell you if I find out.
