My guess would be that you copied the file from your account to the new account.

If you type    ls -al   in the  /home/newuser  directory, it probably
will show that .xsessions is owned by olduser.

If so, go into the /home/newuser directory and type:    

chown newuser:newuser .xsessions

Then try again.
