Excuse me pointing this out, but many different distros use many different
methods to start X - hence the advice is not quite as pointed as you might
like.
What are you using? 2 start files are /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (aka
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc), and /etc/X11/xsession. Distro scripts for
starting X have large tangles and knots in them; Mandrsake offers xtart to
choose your windowmanager, which relies on /etc/X11/wmsession.d. It's all
clear as mud.
