The OP is particularly drawing attention to a situation which could possibly occur when *Debian is installed*. Unfortunately, although one of the conditions under which the installation was done (no selection of a DE) is stated, the complete situation is not described. This reduces the usefulness of the suggested fix. > It would surprise me. If that was what was being suggested it would surprise everyone. But it isn't, so it doesn't.
