Kill the window manager process, start a new one. Warning: once killed, you won't be able to e.g. change input focus any more. Some wms allow to change wms as a menu option, but the barebones ones you;re after probably not. > And what filesystem can I put on my > memory stick that is more UNIX friendly than FAT, but that does not have the > ext filesystems' problem of confusing the system that mounts it when moving > between systems with different UIDs? UIDs are a fact of Unix, there's no way around. You missed the point that this has nothing to do with ext. You could try to make all files/directories writable by everyone. Decent Linux distros will assign the logged-in users UID as owner to FAT filesystems on removable storage, again, the no-frills-no-functions wms you're after probably won't do that.
