With Linux you can definitely have different window managers on different
X11 instances running on different screens within the same machine. I did
this before (running two instances of Gnome on :0 and :1 respectively, and
olvwm on :2) and it's only down to the individual window managers whether
they are happy about it or not. You can have some remote screens such as
via XDMCP as well, each using its own window manager.
