[ale] Weird window-manager shenanigans on debian 12...

I recently migrated to a debian environment, and have been happily using
lxqt as my desktop.  Last night when I went to bed, it was still my
desktop.  This morning, when I got up- suddenly the only desktop available
to me was gnome.

Now, I hate gnome.  You may have other opinions, and that's fine.  But I
hate it.

I have my lxqt session files in /usr/share/xsessions, I have an .xinitrc in
my home directory which should run lxqt no matter what- but the only
options in sddm and the only session which will run after telinit 2 /
startx is gnome.  What could possibly be wrong?  I've never encountered
this before on any linux distro.

Anybody have a clue?
