In IceWM on my computer (Ubuntu), when I installed it, a bit of the menu 
had "Window Managers".
It allowed me to switch to the other three thousand window managers I 
had on my system.
It looks like
restart jwm - jwm
Put that anywhere in your ~/.icewm/menu file
Which gets to JWM (without closing your open apps)
Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out how to get back to IceWM (or 
other WM's) from JWM.
