I use the alternatives system to figure out what window managers and session managers are available. IMO, if a window manager is useless on its own, then it should not provide an option for the x-window-manager alternative. This same basic issue came up in bug 194195, which is filed against wdm but I claim is a problem with xfce4. xfce4 provides an x-window-manger alternative, but doesn't actually work if you start it on its own; it needs some kind of session manager to work. noah
