Yes this works with .Xclients, but I am looking for a simple way that is not
Window Manager dependant like .Xclients is. Previously in Redhat 7.3 all I
had to do was create an .xsession file in /home/user with the following:
#!/bin/sh
exec xterm &
Then no matter what window manager I loaded I always had xterm load. If I
create an .Xclients with only the above lines then X will not load properly
since the Window manager is loaded as well via .Xclients code. Did Redhat
change this behaviour in RH8? Is there a simpler method than using
.Xclients? Like .xinitrc or .xsession used to provide.

Add it to ~/.Xclients or ~/.Xclients-default
