Worst than that: I cannot launch Window Maker from gdm.
I can only launch 'failsafe Xterm' or 'failsafe Gnome'.

I already tried things like 
  apt-get remove gdm xdm kdm
  apt-get install gdm xdm kdm
and also
  dpkg-reconfigure gdm
  dpkg-reconfigure wmaker
  dpkg-reconfigure gnome-session

Without success :-(

I'm quite a Newbie with Debian.
Please help.
