Do you really mean to say that switching window manager should be done 
in a stable environment?  Or did you mean to suggest swtiching early 
_after_ the 0.86 release?

Is the purpose to switch from one specific window manager to another 
specific one, or to move towards working properly with any 
EWMH-compliant window manager (and just picking one of them by default)?

GNOME can work with different window managers too, even if it ships with 
this one as default.
