Note that in the Debian system, what many people traditionally put in
the .xinitrc file should go in .xsession instead; this permits the same
X environment to be presented whether startx, xdm, or xinit is used to
start the X session. All discussion of the .xinitrc file in the
xinit(1) manual page applies equally well to .xsession. Keep in mind
that .xinitrc is used only by xinit(1) and completely ignored by
xdm(1).
