Look into the /etc/xsession (not sure of the right name but something
like this), that is the default xsession file, there should be a if
statement for $HOME/.xsession and if so execute it.
If the if statement is'nt there (it should be), you will have to add
one.

OK, so I created the /home/test/.xsession file for my "test" user, but I
still get a Gnome session for this user (and others).  I ran make
install
after building ratpoison wm, so it is accessible.  I even tried to
address
the binary directly : "exec /usr/local/bin/ratpoison" in .xsession.

It appears that .xsession is not being referenced?
