It does indeed.  Although I prefer to use xsession and choose from
within there.  I use dmenu, as in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# --------------------------------- WM selection
WM=$(dmenu <<EOF
ratpoison
startfluxbox
emacs
EOF
    )
eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)
setxkbmap -symbols "pc+gb"
exec $WM
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
