  I think you should choose 'Default' instead of 'KDE' for ~/.xsession
  to be read. note that ~/.xsession files are meant to be full startup
  scripts (as in they call the window manager and so), so there's little
  point in using .xsession when KDE will start up itself.

  either choose the 'Default' session in kdm, and then end your
  ~/.xsession script with 'exec startkde', or resort to some alternative
  method as ~/.kde/Autostart or your 93xfree86-common_xsession.
