I used to be able to switch window managers on the fly without logging out.

If it's just the WM you want to change, then use killall xfwm4; metacity& (for example) If it's the full desktop environment you want to change (Gnome/KDE/XFce/whatever) when AFAIK the answer's No. However, you could log into the various DEs on separate VTs and switch between them using Ctrl-Alt-F7 etc. HTH John -- John Pettigrew Headstrong Games john@headstrong-games.co.uk Fun : Strategy : Price http://www.headstrong-games.co.uk/ Board games that won't break the bank Knossos: escape the ever-changing labyrinth before the Minotaur catches you!
