I would soft link it so both xdm and xinit can use it to run the X client programs
ln -s ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession
I have fluxbox too, but the above didnt work for me because the default display manager ( the thing that logs you in and starts the preferred x clients ) is GDM for redhat. And GDM does not care much ~/.xsession. It finds /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession from /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. The two ways to circumvent this are
1. change /etc/X11/prefdm to run xdm ( display manager that comes with xfree86 ) which is very standards compliant.
2. change gdm configuration to point to ~/.xsession
I havent done either, because I use runlevel 3 and donot reboot unless I'm compiling a kernel.
