Debian's Xsession is not the same as Red Hat's.
If you need a home directory that will work consistently across different
operating systems, then I *strongly* suggest you stick with startx and
make .xinitrc a symlink to .xsession for backwards compatibility. Any
attempt to reverse engineer and consolidate different display manager +
Xsession combos across multiple operating systems is likely to lead to
mental breakdown.
