Not xsession, but .xsession. You create it in your $HOME directory.
When logging in from the GUI, it checks for two files in your $HOME
directory, I think in this order:
~/.xsession
~/.Xclients
and executes the first one it finds. If logging in from text console,
and running "startx", it looks for and executes ~/.xinitrc.
