Which X server are you using?

I use Exceed, a commercial X server that has two modes.  In one mode, X
apps appear as native windows.  In this mode Exceed acts as the WM, so
trying to start another results in an error.  In the other mode, Exceed
does not provide WM functions.  In this mode you can run another WM, but X
apps can only appear as child windows inside the Exceed parent window.
