Oke, I found this myself already. A friend tipped me off. Apparantly
wmaker was moved to another location with the update. It is now in
/usr/bin/wmaker before the upgrade it was in /usr/bin/X11/wmaker.
I found out that I had to change a gdm config file.
The last line in /etc/gdm/Sessions/Debian is now exec wmaker, where it
used to be exec /usr/bin/X11/wmaker

Hmmm, I just added xscreensaver & to the /etc/gdm/Sessions/Debian file and
now xscreensaver starts fine when I log in. However is this the right way
to do this.
Can I source the .xsession file just like the .bashrc file (source
.xsession) I could just add this to my .../Sessions/Debian file. Better?
