I need to install many window managers at the same time and launch any application targeting a specific one of them. For example, I want to launch Chromium in a window manager and then second Chromium instance in another window manager. How can I make this happen?

Rationale

I have a project idea, described here, which will act like a window manager for grouping independent applications. In the end, applications have to be launched to use their specific place holder.

Normally all windows managers should be listed on a drop-box on the login screen.

Otherwise, it used once to work by making custom config files for xinit and passing them in as arguments together with the other arguments for which vt to start on.

Something like this :

xinit ~/.xinitrc.i3 -- :0 vt7 &
xinit ~/.xinitrc.xfce -- :1 vt8 &

Your version of xinit might differ in parameters.
