getting .xsession to run

[Luis Murillo]

I have created the file .xsession in my home dir. When I log in it
should get executed, or at least that's what it did in the other distros
I was using. But it only gets executed when I run the command startx
from a console.
Was GDM modified to disable the execution of .xsession? How can I enable
this?
