Just a sideliner, shouldn't startx be calling .xinitrc instead??

I have a suggestion that may be a little stupid...

Instead of wrapping startx with some overwriting command,
set it to export some variable (say $BPP) to the color-depth
of the session.  Then in .xinitrc, do the following.

  exec ~/.xinitrc.$BPP

Then, just store the initrc file for the respective color 
depth in the respective .xinitrc files.
