The tool in slackware to do this is called "xwmconfig". It's installed by

It uses dialog to open a semi-graphical selection tool. It scans the
default xinitrc files in /etc/X11/xinitrc/, presents a list, and copies
the select file into the user's ~/.xinitrc file. startx run runs this
xinitrc script to launch the desktop.
if ~/.xinitrc is not readable, or if xwmconfig is launched as a different
user (e.g. root), then it might not have the intended effect.
Ben,
Please re-read my original post.
Thanks,
