If you use startx without options, it will use the default 'Debian' startup
method. This is looking for alternatives (man update-alternatives). 

logo:~# update-alternatives --list x-session-manager
/usr/bin/icewm-session
/usr/bin/gnome-session
/usr/bin/xfce4-session

So,
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
should be the exact command you are looking for.

Best regards
Martin

The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux - TKK 5
