Strangely, after creating a ~/.xsession file, I wasn't able to log
in
to my gnome session anymore (though I didn't investigate this
further
and just deleted ~/.xsession again).
Maybe you forgot “chmod +x ~/.xsession”?
Obviously I did, case closed ;-)
What did work was to create a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart.
I've attached it here for future reference ;-)
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Screensaver
Type=Application
Exec=xscreensaver -nosplash
Interesting, I wonder what piece of software reads this file. Maybe
xfce-session and gnome-session?
I don't know, but apparently it's a freedesktop standard.
https://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html
Another method: if you create a .desktop file in one of the standard
locations (don't know by heart where those are, some subdirectory of
/etc, and there's a directory somewhere in $HOME, too, I think), the
application will be available as a choice in the 'Startup
Applications' menu of gnome-tweak-tool.
