If you use a .xsession file, you have to go all in. Your ~/.xsession file will completely replace the system default X11 session. That means you have to invoke your window manager (or desktop session manager if you use one of those), as well as any other programs that you'd like to start as part of your personally customized X session. If instead you just want to ADD a program to the system default X session, Debian created a ~/.xsessionrc file which is run in ADDITION to the default session, so you don't have to replicate all of the functionality yourself. https://wiki.debian.org/Xsession
