OK. So it ought to work, then.

What this actually does is just to start the window manager with the 
--replace option the way I indicated earlier, I would assume. It also 
fails, in this case with a very general error message in a popup. In 
other words, this setup simply doesn't work on my machine. I forgot to 
mention that I have two monitors and use TwinView, though - perhaps the 
problem is related to that. Maybe I'll try with a single-screen setup 
later...
