You _could_ change it manually to launch your window manager of choice when 
using startx by changing the symlink:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/alternatives$ ls -hal x-window-manager
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 2003-11-06 17:03 x-window-manager -> 
/usr/bin/wmaker

But another advice might be installing wdm or another xdm clone which supports 
window manager selection. When you machine is booted you get presented a 
graphical login prompt with a dropdown box which lists all available window
managers.
