A window manager is launched with --replace option to replace any
other window manager if already running(metacity/kwin), otherwise it
just start whatever window manager you called.

Trying to run a WM without --replace will fail if another is running,
hence --replace.

KDE and GNOME are the Desktop Environments(DE), so you cannot use
compiz(WM) in its place in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager DEFAULT_WM.
The variable name is a bit misleading.
