If you don't have a .xinitrc in your home directory, create one, make it
executable, and put the same two lines in there that you would use for
.Xsession. That is:
#!/bin/bash
exec afterstep
Don't touch anything in /etc/X11/xinit/ just to change your window
manager. That would be uncool :)

If you called the file .Xsessions, it shouldn't work because that's the
wrong name. It needs to be be .Xsession (note the lack of an s at the
end).
