While many of them have a --replace option, it doesn't go the other
way: actively handing over to another WM. Or at least I haven't seen
one.
It might be possible to simply "killall other-wm; exec fluxbox" in a
shell, but - at least in my scenario - this won't work because the
window manager "carries" the whole Xorg session, i.e. killing it means
I'm logging out, back to command line.

Personally I'm not all that interested in this sort of hopping; the
whole point of a WM (and how the whole session is set up) is to provide
a particular workflow, why should I want to interrupt that.

I do know however of one person who was playing with this, and created
a installable/live
