try (as root) :
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
The reason is that debian uses the the alternatives mechanism to set the
windows manager (system wide)
For a per user change, you need to set a environment option, but i don't
remember the exact name.
It would be nice if the gconf/gnome prefs/gnome-wm were configured on
debian so they are just a frontend to changing the x-window-manager
alternative or something such.
