chmod 754 ~/.xsession if you're using xdm, chmod 754 ~/.xinitrc if you're using startx. This ensures that the eXecutable file permission is set, otherwise it won't be run as a script[1]. I just figured this one out myself. I just kept staring and staring at it. Why wouldn't it work! Aggh! :) [1] for those interested, it's run by a start up script: /etc/X11/Xsession -- balderdash.
