In the former case the system wide /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc takes care for this. You can override this file by having your own .xinitrc in your home directory. In the latter case you can create a .xsession (as a copy of xinitrc) and put the appropriate commands in there. Any errors occuring during start of your session can be found in .xsession-errors. --Chris Christoph P. U.
