xdm generally runs .xsession, xinit (startx) runs .xinitrc. It seems
to be fairly common to symlink the two together.

You might look through stuff in /etc/X11. What's probably happening
is that, since you don't have ~/.xsession, the system Xsession script
runs the first of /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager and
/etc/alternatives/x-display-manager that exists, and you get
windowmaker as your system's default window manager.
