Actually, the way it usually works (not specifically sure about NetBSD
because I haven't installed X on any of my boxes yet) is that there is a
system wide default file that starts up an xterm and a window manager.
You can override it by making a file in your home directory called
either .xinitrc or .Xclients (depending on how the X startup scripts are programmed).

This file should contain, at a minimum the filename of your window
manager, and any options used when starting it. Therefore, you can
change your window manager by changing this file. WindowMaker creates an
.xinitrc for you as part of the install script that is quite usable.
Your personalized window manager config files are stored in your home
directory, so there is no harm having multiple window managers
installed.
