/etc/X11/config file has one/more lines, depending on the version you use,
that mention xdm. For example, 
start-xdm
If you want to get rid of xdm, comment that line out.

/etc/X11/windows-managers holds a path to window manager that gets started
at the startup. I also modified the Xsession file in there, at the very
end, where it executed twm in some cases.
