    Change Window Manager Per User

    In Ubuntu, I run Compiz/Metacity, but I also have wmii installed. I know how to change to wmii for a one-time log in, but I don't know how to make it default for specific user.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Actually, never mind. Looks like I got it to work.

    I am not sure of its working in totality yet, and my method seems pretty primitive and is most likely incorrect.

    Once you switch the session and enter your user name and password, it asks you whether to keep as default, and I said yes. Subsequent logins chose the correct window manager. I am not entirely sure whether this effects the other user accounts though, since I log out of main account rarely.
