Presumably you are able to start windowmaker from a console login using startx,
correct? If so you could simply create a symlink from your existing .xinitrc
file to .xsession. startx sources .xinitrc, xdm sources .xsession. The only
difference is that .xsession must be executable, therefore I would do the
following:
$ chmod u+x .xinitrc
$ ln -s .xinitrc .xsession
