Why can't he just hard-code jwm or its session into .xsessionrc ?

I don't boot straight into GUI (I use startx) so my experience is
slightly different, but I just put my desired window manager session
program into my .xinitrc. Here it is for my Openbox Daily Driver
Desktop:

================================================
#!/bin/sh
xrdb -load /home/slitt/.Xdefaults
#exec startlxde
#gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop --type boolean false
exec /usr/bin/openbox-session
================================================
