ratpoison's tmpwm command hasn't been recreated in stumpwm yet. If any
one wants to take a stab at it, feel free :).

In the meantime you could setup a loop in your .xinitrc that cycles
through a few window managers and then back to stumpwm. Of course, you
lose all the groups and realtime hacks you may have done to stumpwm.
