Hand me, say, a default Debian installation with a DE to be my own, and the very first thing I'm likely to do, even before whittling down the rest of the startup processes, is
cd /etc/alternatives mv x-session-manager x-session-manager.disabled
That shouldn't be necessary. ?dm should run .xsession by default, if there is one.
That saws the legs out from under the DE. Then, because I'm a retrograde refugee from NeXTSTep:
apt-get install wmaker wmaker-data update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
I guess, but I'd have thought it easier to cd echo wmaker >.xsession chmod +x .xsession Meh. PS: was gonna mention dpkg-divert, but it's an auto-generated file.
