Look at the /etc/X11/Xsession script (or your local copy in ~/.xsession).
It's probably missing the highlight -e
====Script excerpt:
if [ -x $startup ] && grep -q ^allow-user-xsession /etc/X11/config
then
exec $startup
else
xterm -ls &
if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]
# ^^^----- PROBABLY MISSING PART
then
for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`
do
if [ -x $i ]
then
exec $i
fi
done
fi
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm ]
then
exec fvwm
fi
exec twm
fi
====End excerpt
