You indeed mistook something, and shouldn't remove /etc/X11/Xsession.
The last 2 lines of /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession (on my system) read
# invoke global X session script
. /etc/X11/Xsession
-> it looks like kdm want some extra stuff done in Xsession, but reuses the
global Xsession stuff
-> even if kdm didn't include the above 2 lines you shouldn't
remove /etc/X11/Xession, as that file would still be used when you start
X through another means then kdm (e.g. by running startx from the command
line)

2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
