Files likely in your backup that need update:
.xsession

.desktop file is created during boot, but a backup will overwrite it.

Change it to be correct.

.xsession has a construct to use a default if specifiec WM in .desktop is missing.

No I don't use the backup system. I use a custom tce to load my "unique" files. The .desktop file is not in my tce file.
This is the /etc/skel/.desktop file just to be clear.

The .desktop file has just 2 entries:
wm: jwm
icons: wbar

Ah yes, correct. At least the .xsession default overrides it.
I will correct it for the next cut.
