Hi,

In the top left corner of the GDM screen you see a menu that allows you to choose a Debian session, a Gnome session, X session etc.  Chose Debian session.  Now login.  It will ask if you want Debian session to be the norm.  Say yes.

Now create a .xsession file with 2 words: exec wmaker

Logout, login and you'll be in Windowmaker.

As a tip, if you have a windows key, you can map it here to F13.  Also, if there are partitions you want to mount or remote smbmounts that its a hassle to manually mount, .xsession is a good place to put the commands.
