I assume you are using xdm(1). xinit(1) uses .xinitrc, but xdm uses
.xsession.
Converting to .xsession is rather straightforward (just 'exec scrotwm'
is likely to suffice); just keep in mind that xdm runs some scripts in
/etc/X11/xdm, in case something happens that you don't want to happen.
The gory details are in the man page.
