No, no ~/.xsession file.

Hit! After suspecting gdm as the culprit - after change from GNOME 2 to
GNOME 3 sowhere lost it's nice cool session setup selection features -
to use old settings that I do not know where to set, I completely
overlooked the obvious in front of my nose.[1]
I have LC_MESSAGES set in .profile, and in .dmrc. I'm still after many
years of using Linux confused about when .profile is sourced, but
anyway, I will remove it and try again.

Will have a look into that. I really should learn what's going on during
a login under the hood.

have solved the problem right away and need not ask... It worked!
