In a discussion with Dominique we agreed for TW to - get rid of DEFAULT_WM - try to add some code to aaa_base to migrate the DEFAULT_WM setting to update-alternatives. aaa_base already needs coreutils which is the only dependency of update-alternatives anyways. - remove the patch that reads DEFAULT_WM it from GDM - make GDM fall back to default.desktop first, then potentially gnome.desktop - apply the same logic to wayland sessions SDDM already doesn't read DEFAULT_WM so broken in that regard already since it's introduction
