My favorite way to play with window managers is to use Xnest.
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! $@ ] ; then
echo usage $0 [ -w -d ]
echo "-w Window_Manager"
echo "-d Display"
echo "$0 -w /usr/local/bin/pwm -d 1"
exit 1
fi
for ARG in $@ ; do
case "$ARG" in
-w) shift ; WM="$1" ; shift;;
-d) shift ; DP="$1" ; shift;;
esac
done
Xnest :$DP -name $WM -kb -ac -br &
#exec xsetroot -display :$DP -solid blue &
export DISPLAY=:$DP
exec $WM
