In your case, you should not use the ~/.xsessionrc file to start
a GUI program.

Since you mentioned lxsession, I suppose that you're using LXDE.
I don't know it, but it already has some "autostart" feature, so
this is what you should use. There's some documentation about
LXDE's autostart there, and I suppose that this is the same for
Debian:

I don't know the recommended way for LXDE, but autostart may also
be a possibility.

So, in short, ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart would contain

@xset dpms force off
@mousepad
@claws-mail
