But that is different! /etc/X11/window-managers sets a global default, 
.xsession is only my local choice. Can't I use GNOME as a global default? 
Well, I know, there is /etc/X11/Xsession, but editing there for a 
window-manager is not consistent at all with Debian's /etc/X11/window-managers!

Thanks.
