Ha Ha Ha. This is the same stupid fallacy which exists with our
x-session-manager management in Xsession. Why is _always_ some
x-session-manager provider started (and not x-window-manager) after you
have ONLY installed installed a such monster? This situation happens
very easy, one user of many asks you to install KDE and *boom* the login
behaviour has changed for everybody.

And there is no way to get rid of it without editing stuff. When I asked
why the easy configurable option of usin a WM has to be disabled in this
situation, I got an answer like: "because if something else handles
startup it has to comply with X Session standard". No explanation of
apples-oranges situation helped the maintainer to understand.
