What do you mean by "that does not work"?
1. Does the .xsession script not get executed?
2. Does it get executed but your changes to the file not get executed?
BTW, did you make the .xsession executable?

Try something simpler, and certainly _non-GUI_ like:
/bin/logger -t fromxsession'['$$']' -p daemon.info .xsession executed
Then look wherever your syslogd logs daemon.info logs, for the last two
words of the "logger" command.
And the title of your message is a bit confusing. Do you want your
script to run at system bootup after init reaches run level 5, or do you
want it to run _as_a_particular_user_ after that user has logged in
through XDM?
Have you checked the xdm manpage? Might give you additional hints about
where to hack to test what scripts are executed at what time during
login/logout.
