Actually, the symlink isn't necessary; just the .xsession . With a
stock
startx, and system xinitrc and Xsession files, startx will (eventually)
call your .xsession (assuming it exists, .xinitrc does not, and
/etc/config
has allow-user-xsession set).
I discovered this when I was having problems with startx not loading any
Xresources.
