As already said by people, it depends on your distro and how you are
using your DM. For instance, if you are using KDM and using the
"Enlightenment" session it will NOT use ~/.xsession. You need a
specific session to use it, I don't recall the name, but it may be
"Custom", "XSession" or something like that.
As also said, you can just go and have it in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
as most distros are set to load all of them in order. Probably you
already have other agents there, like ssh-agent and consolekit.
Going even further, if you use your desktop mostly for single user,
I'd recommend using "slim" as DM and set it to auto-login in E17 using
/etc/slim.conf and "auto_login yes" and "default_user" to your
username. If you want to type a password, just request E17 to "start
locked" by using -locked command line option or using the GUI
Settings/Screen/Screen Lock. It will make your boot much faster as
there is no crap qt(kdm)/gtk(gdm) loaded into memory.
