You're absolutely right, I haven't updated. As I said:
In the middle of February, I installed potato/frozen on a machine
and it still uses /etc/X11/window-managers (which is a TEXT file)
to decide which window manager to run.
I'm quite happy with 3.3.6-3 which works. It's a pathfinder for
sorting out any problems with running potato before I upgrade
my production machines. I won't bother moving from 3.3.6-3 until
I stop seeing frequent posts from people with screwed up
/etc/alternatives links. Sorry if I confused anybody who's got
confused links..
Cheers,
