Confirmed this issue.

The problem occurs when a user simply issues a remove and not a purge of the desktop-effects-kde package, which leaves behind an Xsession file:

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/25enable-compiz

The contents of this file test for a hidden configuration file in the users home directory:

$HOME/.kde/share/config/compizasWM

And if it exists, it exports the KDEWM variable to be /usr/bin/compiz. This behaviour is incomplete, as the Xsession test for compiz should test for the compiz binary before exporting it as a valid window manager.

Please correct. I have attached the patch to correctly test for the existence of compiz binary in addition to the original test.
