hmmm not sure if the .xinitrc is called by default from the
.xsession.... try to call the .xinitrc from your .xsession...

yup that should do the thing....
you can also try to use kdm or gdm, they offer a chooser for your
sessions, and you aren't obligated to use those useless memory hogs they
are designed for. (i use gdm to start a gnomeless minimalistic sawfish
session...)

uhm what's the 'exec' for?? wmaker is surely allready executable, isn't
it? what's the puropose of adding an exec? at least mine works without
that....
