No, if you're using xdm it's sufficient to have a global Xsession
file in the xdm config directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/ I think).

You can even specify different kinds of sessions in this file
(fvwm, kde, failsafe etc) and kdm has a pulldown menu on its login
screen which lets you choose which session you want. The user
need not have a .xsession file.  In fact it makes no sense in
our situation: we have NIS accounts with various machines, some
of which run CDE and some KDE/GNOME/other free stuff, and an
.xsession file will mean you can't log into some machines.
