Actually, that's entirely inaccurate. Debian doesn't use the RH-ism of reserving runlevel 3 for non-GUI and runlevel 5 for GUI. In debian runlevels 2->5 inclusive will launch some form of DM, if it is installed. To answer the querent directly, what you probably want to do, is: update-alternatives --config x-session-manager update-alternatives --config x-window-manager This will change it globally, and x-session-manager takes precedence over x-window-manager unless it is configured by the user. This depends, of course, as to which display manager you use. KDM and GDM AFAIK have to be coerced into using ~/.xsession (which is where you place all of your commands to start up, including the session manager). XDM and startx use ~/.xsession by default.
