Is it possible to run two WMs at the same time, being able to switch between them like ttys?
I mainly use openbox, but occasionally do some things where tiling WMS would be nice, but i don't feel like restarting X to switch back and forth.
I have found some things on the net hinting that this might be possible, but i can't seem to figure it out.

What I always do:
Xorg -noreset :1 & (sleep 5; DISPLAY=:1 xterm) &

You can start a separate X session on vt8 like this, and then use Ctrl+Alt+F8 to switch to it.
startx -- :1 vt8
and additional X sessions...
startx -- :2 vt9

Also, look at the slim page in the wiki. It has a configuration for logging into multiple wms if thats what your looking for.

The easiest way to do this is to use "qingy".

Just throwing another option out there: You can also use Xephyr, which will launch an X session inside a window.
