The exec will overlay and replace the currently running shell with the
listed command. Usually that would be a window manager. Is pland a
window manager?
If you want to start additional programs you should put them in the
background.
pland &
The .xsession file is used by xdm/kdm/gdm. I am hoping that you also
included a #!/bin/bash --login line and also a line that starts your
window manager.
#!/bin/bash --login
pland &
exec x-session-manager
#exec fvwm2
#exec startkde
#exec gnome-session
If you are using 'startx' or simply 'xinit' then you would use the
~/.xinitrc file with different contents instead.
