(thanks to hackedhead for this one)

This .xinitrc allows you to run different WM's using the same .xinitrc.
Just do xinit <WM name>.

<pre>
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

# global options go here
xrdb /home/wsduvall/.Xdefaults
xscreensaver -no-splash &
feh --bg-scale /home/wsduvall/halloween*

session_default=xmonad

# Allow specifying a session when starting with startx
session=$1
test -z "$session" && session=$session_default

case $session in
"dwm")
# dwm specific options go here
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
