xdm uses .xsession, which many people used to link to .xinitrc. Here's my 
.xinitrc, which -- although I don't use it from xdm -- ought to do the trick. 
Remember to chmod +x it. Then ln -s .xinitrc .xsession .

#! /bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/xterm -geometry +0+0 &  # Failsafe!
exec /usr/local/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/local/bin/startkde
exec /usr/local/bin/twm  # Failsafe in case ck-launch-session doesn't exist
