That's it indeed, Yawar Amin:

> startx [/usr/bin/]<wm_name> -- :0
                             ^^^^^^^
It doesn't even need a specific file with yet another command name.
But please explain the syntax.

Attempts without the arguments underlined would not open X -
complaining about missing "display:", or would at best load only the
window manager[s] explicitly defined for/in the X setup and not any
other one which might be present and eligible in the "system".

And if bash (batch) syntax would be a bit easier to learn, it could be
feasible to set up a small script to choose between window managers.
