In my experience, if you use gdm, .xsession is ignored if you choose
"X session" (which would be the obvious choice) from the session
menu. You have to use "Debian session" for it to use .xsession. One
would think it should be the other way around.
That is if you use gdm for display manager. If you are using xdm,
.xsession is read. If it (and possibly other files like .xclients,
.xinitrc etc?) doesn't exist, I think Windowmaker or something is
started.
