change window mangers on Open BSD

Is there a command similar to xwmconfig on Slackware in Open BSD?

PS I could find this on www.openbsd.org

I usually just edit ~/.xinitrc.

Why do you need a command? It takes 20 seconds to change it in ~/.xinitrc

The only thing I can think of that makes it a pain to edit .xinitrc is if you are intending to use Xfce, which needs a string of commands executed to bring the desktop up correctly.

Otherwise, it's just "exec gnome-session" or "exec startkde" etc.
