not really what you are asking, but a "Cool Thing" that might help.
from your current manager, do a ctrl alt F6 (or F whatever ya want) to get a different term and login. then type "xinit -- :1" this starts another instance of X windows, it will run on F8 while your original was on F7 (i believe that is the default anyway) in the plain X windows box you get then, type the name of the manager you want to try, like blackbox or enlightenment. you will then have GNOME or KDE or whatever on F7 and E or whatever F8. though this does take a fair chunk of RAM, it is not only good for playing around, but demonstrating the sheer power of the X system and your Linux box. heck get a good fast CPU and a gig or so of RAM and run 4 X sessions each with a different manager. just change the xinit number. invite your friends over, build dumb network terminals, serve X over the network to them, become an admin, take over the world! muahahaha....... errm, sorry i have no idea where that came from.
