  So, you've told your X session to exit immediately.  This will
probably produce the behavior you're seeing, of it exiting immediately. :-)
Try adding the following line at the bottom of .xsession:

exec /usr/bin/wmaker || x-terminal-emulator

  and it should work. (that says to run wmaker, and to run an xterm if
wmaker can't be found)
