Please study /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup

If I understand it correctly, ~/.xsession may be used as a fall back
script, and does normally not apply if you start the session from e.g.
lightdm or GDM. The $STARTUP variable gets set in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20x11-common_process-args

Title:
  lightdm does not source .xsession

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  There is a decades-old standard protocol for starting up a user's X
  session, which requires display managers to source the user's
  ~/.xsession file.  lightdm fails to do this.  See also Bug #1468832.
