Why, because what I do now is boot to Icewm and generally stay there, 
but more and more often I like to play with different wm's to see if I 
want to switch. I have played with xfce4 a lot, but I can't switch out 
of it to play with enlightenment or back to ice or whatever. Logging out 
closes the apps and takes too long. I'll try your suggestion about 
Xnest, thank you.
