Bug#165529: x-window-system: Resets window manager on every update



Package: x-window-system
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: normal

I just upgraded x-window-system and assorted packages.  After
upgrade, I found that my window manager had been switched from
under me to fvwm.  I had to rerun update-alternatives manually to
install my favourite fvwm95 again.

This is a Bad Thing, IMHO.  A package upgrade should not change
systemwide defaults.
