According to "/usr/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz", ~/.xsession is the
correct way of customizing one's X sessión, as long as the system
administrator has disabled the possibility. More answers lie at "man 5
Xsession.options". Make sure that gdm is honouring ~/.xsession (for
example, try running X through "startx" and see what you get).
