It's a tricky question, because it's a case on the edge of Home/System. From one point of view it should be handled by some home service, which will create a proper ~/.xsession or extend it and generic mechanism, from some display managers will automatically source it, but on the other hand maybe adjusting system services for other DMs, which doesn't work "out of the box" yet is a way to go. I don't have much experience with X11, and don't see a whole picture, so it's hard to tell which option is better. -- Best regards, Andrew Tropin
