No, it uses ~/.xsession in much the same way as .gnomerc. It's doing this to be more KDE-friendly. It will only do this if the command is set to "custom." To do that, you will need to create a custom /usr/X11R6/etc/dm/Sessions file with an Exec action of "custom." However, by default, ~/.xsession will not be run. This is all from looking at the code, so I may be mistaken. Some of this may also have changed in 2.4.4.2. I haven't looked yet.
