Create or edit your ~/.xinitrc:

exec afterstep

I dont know if "afterstep" is the right afterstep binary, but after "exec" there
should be a path to the windowmanager executable.

the same way, but here the executables name is different:

exec gnome-session

Maybe my .xinitrc can help you any further:
#exec gnome-session
exec wmaker
#exec /tmp/bin/wmaker
#exec fluxbox
#exec kdeinit
#exec blackbox
#exec enlightenment
#exec e17
#exec esd &
#exec /opt/garnome/bin/gnome-session
