Sorry, but no, it doesn't - I still get twm.

prh at wstn ~ $ cat /home/prh/.xsession
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/startxfce4
prh at wstn ~ $ cat /home/prh/.xinitrc
startxfce4
prh at wstn ~ $ ls -l .x*
-rw-r--r--  1 prh users    11 Mar 21 18:00 .xinitrc
-rw-r--r--  1 prh users 10187 Mar 19 11:17 .xscreensaver
-rwxr-xr-x  1 prh users    32 Mar 21 17:23 .xsession
-rw-------  1 prh users     0 Mar 21 18:01 .xsession-errors
