I think KDM completely ignores ~/.xsession and ~/.xinit files out of the box. 
I don't know how to change this.

If you want to test your ~/.xsession and ~/.xinit files you can type

 startx -- :1

to start up another Xserver. Also I can't seem to find any logic to what uses 
~/.xsession and what uses ~/.xinit so I hard linked them to the same file.
