This what I did in the past, but this means that when startx is
used under Debian, the Xsession settings will not be run. This may
or may not be what the user wants. If you want Xsession settings
under Debian, then having a .xinitrc script that contains:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -r $HOME/.xsession ]; then
STARTUP=$HOME/.xsession
fi
. /etc/X11/Xsession
may be the solution. I have not tried. There might be other things to
do, but you get the idea. On other systems, a symlink to .xsession may
be OK.
