I've wondered how to run X simultaneously or concurrently with more than one window manager or with sessions for multiple users, root and nonroot.

But to choose between window managers, I have multiple xinitrc files, like
startx /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.icewm

That is for FreeBSD; actual path will vary by OS and distro.
