Why should the session manager symlink be changed by a window manager?

No - x-session-manager should point to a session manager, and
x-window-manager to a window manager, respectively.
If you have a ~/.xsession file, you may have specified a window manager
in it. Otherwise, odds are the symlink from /usr/bin/x-window-manager is
being used.
