I've added instructions about alternative window managers to 
http://wiki.debian.org/Xmonad .

Switching the WM with update-alternatives struck me as better 
for a novice reading http://wiki.debian.org/Xmonad .

>   $ ps -e | grep openbox
>   $ kill $OPENBOXPID
>   $ nohup xmonad </dev/null >~/.xsession-errors 2>&1 &

That gave an xmonad process and killed the terminal window; 
but no response to <Alt>+<Shift>+<Enter>.

>   $ disown

With the terminal gone I didn't pursue that.

I'm interested in criticism of http://wiki.debian.org/Xmonad 
and won't complain if someone improves my addition.

Regards,               ... Peter E.
