I'd see it as a defeat because you are altering a system file to achieve
something which is capable of being done under your own user.
You need to get back to something basic which works.
1. Prevent lightdm from being started:
update-rc.d lightdm disable ('enable' reverts this).
2. Delete $HOME/.Xdefaults (It's not used).
3. Delete $HOME/.xinitrc (It fouls up Debian's X).
4. Move $HOME/.xsession out of the way.
5. Repair self-inficted damage with
apt-get --reinstall install x11-common
6. Have 'xterm*background: red' as the only line in $HOME/.Xresources.
7. Reboot, execute startx and bring up an xterm.
