    I see two possibilities.
    A) You are running minimal-JWM (which DOESNT load ~/.desktop-session/startup)
    B) desktop-session program is not being loaded on startup.

    Did you remove/replace SLIM? If so, you may be launching jwm directly (which doesn’t load desktop-session program.
    You can easily check if the program is running by executing in terminal:
    sudo ps_mem.py | grep desktop-session
    If it is running, it will tell you how much RAM it is using. If it is NOT running, you will see no output.

    You can also add the startup commands to your ~/.jwm/startup file. You don’t need desktop-session if you add the commands directly to that startup file.

    More info may be needed to solve your issue.
