First of all,  I used .xinitrc when Linux kernel  version was below 0,
my environment is more or less the same I used on the Sun boxes when I
was a stuudent - including rainbow titlebar for WindowMaker :).

Then I read the letter from Mr. Prolux, gor a look to the scripts in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d and now I state explicitly that I do not need X
session management or, better, I do not want it.
