Without the $HOME/.xsession file the realstartup=x-window-manager,
which links to /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager (run update-alternatives
-- config x-window-manager to see your selections), in your case the default
selection is fvwm. With the .xsession file the realstartup=$HOME/.xsession.
This is from my reading of the script in:
file:/etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup
