ah, .xsession wont help you then. as a display manager needs to be run
before the user has logged in [and .xsession is run afterwoulds...]
This renders the rest of my reply pretty much useless unless you are
using xdm and still want to setup .xsession files.

~/ is by definition the home dir of the current user.
cd to ~/ then do pwd and see where you are!
your prompt should tell you unless your have done something silly to it

what happening, is something else starting?
did you create or modify .xsession?
If you created it, did you start with #! then chmod to executeable when
finnished? sorrif if thats insulting...
if something else is starting, you might have to get rid of some stuff
from /etc/rc.x think there are tools for this but i cant remember..so
youll prob have to do some reading. [update-[something?]]
there are prob better ways of doing things, but i find just putting
whatever in .xsession is simple and i can have different WM for
different users. Works for me, but other people may suggest better ways
for you...
