I'm only replying because you say you didn't get any replies the first time
-- this isn't really in my area of expertise.

Since KDE, Gnome, and WindowMaker all require X in order to run, there is no
way to run them *directly* from the command line. You'll need to set up some
sort of scripts to start X with appropriate arguments (possibly telling it
to use different init files, which I gether you already know how to write).

I know this isn't much help, and I'm sorry for that. I do hope it is enough
to steer you in the right direction.
