These answers apply to Debian only:
Default display manager:
Edit the file /etc/X11/default-display-manager to say /usr/bin/xdm.
The xdm, kdm, gdm, ... scripts in the /etc/init.d look here to see if
they should be loaded.
Default window manager
The /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager is a sym-link to your
system-wide default window manager.
Note: It is possible that the display manager you use could totally
ignore the x-window-manager and use some other method of determining the
system-wide default window manager. Also, if there is a
/etc/alternatives/x-session-manager, I believe it will use that and
totally ignore /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.
Details about the default window manager:
/etc/X11/Xsession
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup
/usr/bin/x-window-manager
/etc/alternatives/x-window-manager
So as long as your display manager uses the /etc/X11/Xsession file, you
are set. Oh, and for a per-user configuration you can edit your
~/.xsession or ~/.Xsession file I believe.
