Random question... but is it actually being /run/

I'd put a zenity line in there ( zenity --info --text "Run from .xinitrc" )
that will wait for you to press 'ok'

The reason I ask is that, IIRC, GDM does not heed .xinitrc at all. Instead, it
runs /etc/gdm/something -- making the moderately logical assumption that you're
not doing something awkward.

IF you need something that pays attention to ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc, you
may want to look into xdm or SLiM. I'm not sure if either does autologin, but
its worth a shot.

Just a thought...
