chmod 754 ~/.xsession 

if you're using xdm,

chmod 754 ~/.xinitrc 

if you're using startx.

This ensures that the eXecutable file permission is set, otherwise
it won't be run as a script[1].  I just figured this one out myself.
I just kept staring and staring at it.  Why wouldn't it work!  Aggh!
:)

[1] for those interested, it's run by a start up script:
/etc/X11/Xsession
