This is a small application (using GTK+) which lets you select your window manager. It looks for a file named .selectwmrc in the user's directory which contains a list of window managers.
When you start X it should show a list which lets you choose your window manager (by double clicking on it with the mouse or with the arrow keys and the return or space key)

To run Selectwm you need:
 - A computer with X11
 - GTK+ >= 2.0 (available at http://www.gtk.org). Version 0.3 (and below) uses GTK+ 1.2 (screenshot with old GTK+)

I know that it works on my Linux Box (i386) with Debian Woody (it shouldn't be too difficult to run it on another box. If it doesn't work for you, mail me)
