I don't actually run Raspberry Pi (yet), but the commands look the same as 
what I use, so I am going to take a wild guess here that your problem looks 
similar to something that has happened to me while installing on desktops and 
laptops. 

First, I don't know if this applies to R Pi, but make sure that you have 
uninstalled destop-base and replaced it with desktop-base-trinity. It may be 
that a Pi doesn't use this. 

Second, and more likely, try running this command: 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity

Sometimes I need to do that to set the preferred DE, and this switches it from 
the default installation to TDE.
