Me _idiot_! (despite the triple expresso shot).

I should have written "if you start X with «. startx» with a blank
within the . and the "startx" word.

The .xinitrc file can not do too much for a logout issue.

When  it terminates,  X dies  and this  seems to  show that  the shell
running .xinitrc is a child of X process, and the X process is a child
of the login shell. The only mean for .xinitrc to kill its grandparent
is by means of a well aimed kill -9 :).
