startx will just start your x-session-manager, which can be configured 
with update-alternatives:

,----
| ~# update-alternatives --config x-session-manager 
| There are 5 choices for the alternative x-session-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-session-manager).

|   Selection    Path                      Priority   Status
| ------------------------------------------------------------
| * 0            /usr/bin/startlxde         50        auto mode
|   1            /usr/bin/lxsession         49        manual mode
|   2            /usr/bin/openbox-session   40        manual mode
|   3            /usr/bin/startkde          40        manual mode
|   4            /usr/bin/startlxde         50        manual mode
|   5            /usr/bin/xfce4-session     50        manual mode
