OK, good. That matches what the debian-reference documentation says, and what I wrote on the wiki. I also have this file, from back in my experimenting-with-gdm days: titan:~$ ls -l .gnomerc -rw-r--r-- 1 greg greg 36 Jun 28 2002 .gnomerc titan:~$ cat .gnomerc [ -f ~/.xsession ] && . ~/.xsession So that might be why my ~/.xsession was being read -- because it was dotted in from ~/.gnomerc, which was read by either gdm or whatever gdm executed. It was 14 years ago, so I don't remember every detail.
