The XFree86 system has a *lot* of components. Simply installing a window 
manager probably won't install a full-blown X server for you (bear in mind 
that I have very little Debian experience) as a WM can be used on a remote X 
server.

I'd hazard a small guess that you'll be needing to install xserver-xfree86 in 
order to get a working X server...
