Details

1. The /etc/X11/xsession.d is a Debian-specific directory, and no need to be sourced on Arch Linux. The /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d directory provides the equivalent functionality, which is already sourced by LightDM's Xsession.

2. The ~/.xsession file should not be sourced, because it just run the ~/.xinitrc script by default (see /etc/skel/.xsession file from the xorg-xinit package). The ~/.xinitrc script is used by startx and xinit to start a DE/WM, and should not be launched by display managers, that support /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop files. Otherwise two DE/WM will be started after each other, when the user uncomment an exec line in his/her ~/.xinitrc file.
