I'm sending you my /etc/X11/Xsession, install it with permissions 755,
owned by root.root, of course.  This is the standard debian Xsession
(maybe it's corrupted on your system).  Run "xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap" or
re-login after installing this file...  But I can see you're not a newbie
:)

All the best,
Vad.
