When using xdm you need to modify the ~/.Xsession, for example that way
that it reads your ~/.xinitrc or ~/.Xclients. 
~/.Xsession has to be executable. 
But this problem shouldn't be a problem with afterstep, since xdm only
executes the respective binary, maybe you should call it with it's
complete path, since the new versions live in /usr/local/bin.
