If you use xdm, .xsession is the individual user configuration. If you
just run X through startx or xinit, then .xinitrc is the file to use. Look
into /etc/X11/xdm for the global Xsession and in /etc/X11/xinit for the
global xinitrc. Modify the one you that is applicable and then save it as
the appropriate dot file. Cheers.
