I'm just curious how come it its possible to start (and run) cwm at the

How exactly does that happen on your box?
Well, using fvwm as window manager, I simply run cwm from a shell. I did
not expect it to run, but it does.
Strange things happen though, as one might expect. After killing cwm
(ctrl+c), I need to restart fvwm to restore the window placement etc.
AFAIK a window manager normally
cannot (or refuses to) run if another window manager is already in use.
Is this only a courtsey from the second window manager? I thought there
were limitations in X that forced this behaviour.
A window manager needs its own $DISPLAY,
but that's IMHO the only limitation.
tty00$ startx
tty01$ startx -- :1
Well, these seems to run quite well on a single one. :-) Can anyone
confirm this?
