I believe Matthew's point was that if you link .xinitrc to the system-wide version, you'll still get your .xsession file sourced, as well as a bunch of other setup scripts. I'm used to setting everything up by hand, so I've never really distinguished between the two, other than making sure that startx finds at least one of them. -- Michael A.
