update-alternatives --config x-window-manager

This will put the alternative in manual mode and pointing to the window
manager you have chosen when replying questions prompted by the script.

I vaguely remember having such problem some time ago, what I do not
remember is the reason for that, only that it was very simple. Did you
modified the /etc/inputrc or the /etc/profile files? Please post them,

anybody else to remember.
