After getting my hands dirty I've figured it out. The xdm config file was pointing towards a lot of resources that just weren't in the same place anymore.
Since most of the x11 configs (for 4.1.0) are now in /etc/X11/, all the configs were pointing at /usr/X11R6/blah... It wasn't looking at Xsession file in the right place, and by redirection, didn't look at my home .xsession. All works fine now :) I appologize for thinking aloud here, but I must thank Ted for putting the idea into my head about indirection, and tracing back the clues. Certainly true in this case!
