Can I know why? 

I meant, by default, grml should create xorg.conf if there is no xorg.conf
exists. What would it hurt to do so?

To me, creating an xorg.conf has nothing to do with choosing a window
manager. why is this a issue stopping creating xorg.conf?

I agree. I think that's the whole point of this discussion. 

BTW, I use fluxbox, so choosing another window manager is not an issue to
me.
