The XSESSION environment variable is to be used when you want a different Window Manager or Display Environment to load as a default. So you would for example set XSESSION=openbox, or fluxbox, or xface, etc. Since you just want KDE and the kdm Display Manager knows where to find your KDE4 Display Environment and load it, setting up the XSESSION variable is not necessary - although it would cause no harm.
