Just install the choosewm package. At least in my case it was
automatically made the default x-session-manager and asks the user
after logging in which session should be started.
If that's not the case on your system, just call "update-alternatives
--config x-session-manager" as root to configure it as the default
x-session-manager.
Regards, Axel
