You're absolutely right, I haven't updated. As I said: In the middle of February, I installed potato/frozen on a machine and it still uses /etc/X11/window-managers (which is a TEXT file) to decide which window manager to run. I'm quite happy with 3.3.6-3 which works. It's a pathfinder for sorting out any problems with running potato before I upgrade my production machines. I won't bother moving from 3.3.6-3 until I stop seeing frequent posts from people with screwed up /etc/alternatives links. Sorry if I confused anybody who's got confused links..
