You should be able to place your WM in a systemd user service. Then,
when you log in, do something like this:

  systemctl import-environment DISPLAY XAUTHORITY
  systemctl start my-wm.service

The first command will upload the $DISPLAY variable into the systemd
user instance. The second instance will then spawn the WM.
