3529.0. ""switching between dxwm and mwm"" by MUCTEC::WENDL () Thu Oct 25 1990 11:02

    Is there another way to switch/toggle between dxwm and mwm then
    manually doing 'ps ..' 'kill ..' and '/usr/.. &' ?
    
    Thanks in advance!

    Some window managers have an exit option in their menus.  Other than
    that, you'll have to use the kill shell command or kill(2) system call.

You could tie the ps, kill, dxwm sequence to a menu in mwm to start up dxwm, 
but of course dxwm is absolutely uncustomizable, so you can't do the reverse.
