That was part of it. I had to create the file "xsessionrc" not ".xsessionrc" That catches me every time. But it still wouldn't work.

How I got it to work was downloading the python "setuptools" then follow the install instructions verbatim. I found online some issues with Mint and pip without having setuptools. I also had to use the sudo -H switch, something about not having permissions to my own home directory. Can't say I understand, but it does work now.

And a year from now I will have completely forgotten all this.
