If you click on the image to the left of the password box it will pop up 
a menu. One of the things you can do at that menu is to select which 
windows manager you want to use. On Edgy 6.10 you also have the option 
to only boot into the new windows manager once. This is really nice if 
you just want to test it out and want to keep your default manager. Once 
you are happy with the new manager then set it as default.
