Make sure that your ~/.xsession is executable.
user:~> chmod u+x .xsession
Also make sure that in /etc/X11/config that there is a line that says
something along the lines of 'allow-user-xsession' (I'm not on my linux
box right now). Otherwise, users are stuck with the system Xsession.
You shouldn't have to restart xdm.
