xdm is very simple, it just logs you in and runs a shell script.
with default settings the shell script just executes your ~/.xinitrc

here is an example how to add shutdown button to xdm

you can use it as an example to hack your own 'change wm' feature, or
just use some xdm replacement that has that.
