On my Debian Sarge system there's no ~/.xsession by default, but if I
create one it will be honored. Try looking under /etc/X11 for the system
wide Xsession script, the Xsession.d directory and Xsession.options. The
options file specifically has a flag "allow-user-xsession" indicating
whether or not the ~/.xsession file will be used. (also see "man
Xsession")
This is on Debian, but I figure Ubuntu should be pretty similar.

Steve Crayford,
Thank You for revealing to me the reason Mandrake 10.1 doesn't honor the
~/.xsession file. I've seen various pluggable startup scripts similiar to
what you've described for starting daemons in /etc/init.d and
/etc/logrotate.d and for modules to load in apache and for xinetd, but I
never imagined there was a similiar architecture for starting programs
inside X displays. With your hints above I was able to see that in the
/etc/X11/xinit.d directory which does not contain any files containing
.xsession. Rather the directory contains these files:
bluez-pin* mandrakegalaxy* menu* Mod_Meta_L_Disable* mouse_buttons*
net_applet* numlock* s2u.sh*
I'd always wanted to get certian users to initiate vncviewer sessions from
a window-manager-less screen using kdm's auto-login feature so they could
re-connect to their persistant vncserver session. Thanks to _YOU_ I think
I can finally make this a reality!
