Issue 70: Extension request: Command to open a temporary window manager, or replace XMonad with a different one http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=70 New issue report by gwern0: RP again has some useful functions, tmpwm and newwm. Sometimes you just don't want to use XMonad for whatever reason (perhaps you are waiting for a fix to some problem involving oddball stuff like Windows programs under WINE). Then it'd be good to have the option to temporarily or permanently switch window manager. See http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/doc/Using-Other-Window-Managers.html#Using%2...: 'tmpwm WM Command Gives control over to another window manager and regains control once it has terminated. WM is the path to the new window manager. This command is useful when you want to temporarily take a look at another window manager, or program under a different window manager, but you want to come back to ratpoison when you've finished your investigation. newwm window-manager Command' This are pretty self-explanatory, and I suspect easy to write an extension for. 'newwm' could probably just be a wrapper around exec, even.
