That shouldn't be necessary. ?dm should run .xsession by default, if there is one.
Be that as it may, I found out accidentally one day that disabling X11 session management very efficiently prevents an installed and configured DE from loading at all, i.e., absolutely nothing except for the configured window manager runs at X startup time. That may not be the right way to defang a DE, but it happens to work very well.
I guess, but I'd have thought it easier to
cd echo wmaker >.xsession chmod +x .xsession
Point taken about .xsession -- which obviously I'm going to have to look up and understand yet again.
FYI, I took notes last time, top of my http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.xsession.
