Hmm, now a different thread, perhaps?  Different WM's marketshare?
It's pretty much "to each his own" out here, I'd say.  (see my earlier).

Well, once again, I dunno.  I will mention that "AfterStep" is
"NextStep"'s successor, I think.

I don't see why not, although it'd probably be more common to simply
kill one wm session and start another to save resources.  Maybe it's
possible.  I don't know if, since you've just one DISPLAY (in theory, 
anyhow)
you would configure it.

Hmm, just tested.  No can do, because just one DISPLAY.  Maybe some
X guru has a solution.  GNOME on ttyv1, fluxbox on ttyv2, term on ttyv3
etc., etc.... Would be pretty cool.

Now, if you have two video cards....
