Actually, that's entirely inaccurate. Debian doesn't use the RH-ism of
reserving runlevel 3 for non-GUI and runlevel 5 for GUI. In debian
runlevels 2->5 inclusive will launch some form of DM, if it is
installed.
To answer the querent directly, what you probably want to do, is:
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
This will change it globally, and x-session-manager takes precedence
over x-window-manager unless it is configured by the user. This depends,
of course, as to which display manager you use. KDM and GDM AFAIK have
to be coerced into using ~/.xsession (which is where you place all of
your commands to start up, including the session manager). XDM and
startx use ~/.xsession by default.
