My .xsession has "exec fvwm" as the last line but I do not think that makes your choice incorrect. Also, your other lines look reasonable but I've not had any experience with using such a varied assortment of commands. What I would do is start with "fvwm" as the only line and test with startx. Then build up the file line by line, testing at each stage. > startx would have been bringing up whatever x-window-manager was > pointing at, which was kde. > > xsession was not read because I did not get the clock, I was not asked > for the passphrase, I did not get the background, etc. > > I am not abusing anything. .xsession was working before stretch and it > is not working with stretch.

And - if works with startx, it should work with xdm. -- Brian.
