what you describe has already happend, ans is renamed to “nodm” (for no
display manager). It is basically zhone-session, with all zhone-specific
parts removed. And it does indeed just start ~/.xsession (if no desktop
environment is installed), where the installer puts the default zhone
startup.

to switch, just run (via ssh, because it will kill your X server)
apt-get --purge remove zhone-install
apt-get install nodm
and put a suitable session in ~/.xsession

Greetings,
Joachim
