I usually use the following script to run whichever windowmanager I want -
the xinitrc.* files are the std. ones used with each windowmanager. Instead
of using gdm, you can add the name of this script in your ~/.bash_profile:
Listing:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/dialog --backtitle "Startx" \
--title "Which WM is to be started ?" --clear \
--radiolist "Which One ?" 12 50 6 \
"KDE" "Start K Desktop Environment" off \
"GNOME" "Start GNOME" off \
"WMaker" "Start WindowMaker" off \
"FVWM" "Start Fvwm" off \
"ENL" "Start Enlightenment-DR" off \
"FVWM95" "Start Fvwm95" on 2> /tmp/checklistval.tmp.$$
# above line moved from above "ENL"... line
retval=$?
choice=`cat /tmp/checklistval.tmp.$$`
rm -f /tmp/checklistval.tmp.$$
case $retval in
0)
if [ "$choice" = "KDE" ] ; then
echo "Starting KDE"
cp -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.kde ~/.xinitrc
cp -f /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.kde ~/.Xclients
startx;
elif [ "$choice" = "ENL" ] ; then

startx;

echo "Starting FVWM"
cp -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fvwm ~/.xinitrc
