Nathan,
You might want to take a look at ~/.Xsession and/or ~/.xinitrc. If
either of these files are non-empty, then they can be used to specify
your desired window manager and (in the case of .xinitrc) any extra
programs to launch automatically. Possibly removing these files is what
you need to do.
