Hello Andrea,

For what it's worth, I can't seem to reproduce either behaviour. I tried pekwm and a few tiling window managers in the same session and they all started up normally and delegated the control back to ratpoison upon exit. Inputting a bogus command for tempwm does not seem to cause any problems either.

I've tried both the master and 1.4.8 versions on the same platform; 64 bit GNU/Linux. Could the problem be related to the temporary window manager you are trying to run?
