it doesn't look like you have i3 installed from what I can see so you should:
apt-get install i3
Then:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-session-manager x-session-manager /usr/bin/i3 60
The 60 at the end sets the priority higher than the default which is 50 for gnome, so you should then auto login to i3 at that point without having to select i3, if that makes sense.
