Because of a newer graphics card, after installing Debian 2.1 (slink) 
from CDs I had to update my X11 software to XFree86 3.3.5.  While most
things seem to work fine, xdm login startup seems to ignore the list in
window-managers, and keeps starting (ugh) twm instead of my indicated
default.  The Xsession file /etc/X11 wasn't changed by the X11 update. 

I tried creating an ~/.xsession file, which works but creates conflicts
when logging into non-Linux machines (common home dir, multiple
platforms). 

Has anyone else ecnountered this problem?

Are there any other means of specifying the default or preferred window
manager, on a per-host (rather than per-user) basis?
