Check out /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xsession which is the beast which kicks off
the .xsession. I've used an extra check at the end of the file:

global_startup=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
startup=$HOME/.xsession
resources=$HOME/.Xresources

if [ -f "$startup" ]; then
        exec "$startup"
if

if [-f "$global_startup"]; then
        exec "$startup"
fi

if [ -f "$resources" ]; then
         xrdb -load "$resources"
fi

You may (not) pick up a .Xmodmap; see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
which you do not pick up with an ~/.xsession (for xdm) or ~/.xinitrc (for
startx) start method.
