Just in case it is important, here comes the error message the
supposedly should have been in the .xsession-error file.

/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w
/var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "tim"
warning: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d xinput does not end in sh.

These things may be mistyped since I couldn't find them in any files but
had to retyp them.
