Right away.

The reason I think it isn't read is that I had a bunch
of configs that suddenly stoped to work, every single
one of them. Yes, I tried to strip it down to but a
single setting but I had no success confirming even a
"minimal" .xpdfrc is read.

My WM is openbox, but the "desktop environment"
question is more tricky. I start X from ~/.zprofile
with xinit in /dev/tty6 - then, in ~/.xinitrc I launch
xterm with tmux. Maybe you can help me provide an
answer to your own question by inspecting the output
of 'pstree -A -s':
