Does /etc/X11/Xsession.options have allow-user-xsession? Which X
version are you running? What do /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
and /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager point to? Maybe wdm is the
missing link here, I don't use them so I don't know if it re-reads your
.xsession once it logs you in. Perhaps the man page for it has
something to say.
Have you also tried making your .xsession:
xscreensaver &
exec icewm (or whatever the command is, I don't know)
--mike
