I'm not sure what you mean by "default configuration" but Debian sets
default X preferences in /etc/X11/Xsession and related.  User
customization of X11 in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession (the latter is
preferred).  That's also where you specify your WM.  (Debian will
supply a default WM via /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager.)
