To switch from Magellan to WB, set your Opus shutdown action to
"C:LoadWB_old SKIPWBSTARTUP"

Choosing at bootup is as simple as holding down the shift key if you
want workbench.

I hate the way these things wait for input. Otherwise you could do it
with RequestChoice.

If `RequestChoice "Choose GUI" "Opus or WB" "Opus|WB"` EQ 1
C:LoadWB
Else
C:LoadWB_old
EndIf

All we need is a RequestChoice clone that returns the default action
after a timeout.
