Generally that is used when used when starting X via xinit (or startx).

~/.xsession should be it.

For example, see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession or wherever you have
that installed.

Look at /usr/X11R6/share/kde/config/kdm/kdmrc or wherever you have it for
"Session", like:

  Session=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession

You used LFS (Linux from Scratch) for X and KDE -- I am impressed. (I also
build entire Linux distro from source; it is a lot of work and time.)
