I am attempting to run i3 ( I've also tried xfce ) within xiwi. There's something weird happening because whenever I execute xinit, it does indeed launch xiwi and such, but the screen remains black. To be clear, I know for a fact i3 is being executed, as I can open a terminal and 'blidly' type commands, even if I mod + shift + e and click in roughly the top right corner, I indeed exit i3 and return to the terminal.

I've tried xfce and it's the same.

Strangely, root user works fine.

Update your copy of chroagh. As of 2e9aa2479588e5d5680dcd3c5ea489be5b101e74, this should work. See #2 as well.

If i3 still does not work, please open a separate issue.
