In any event, what you're doing below is not possible. Hm. The display manager is active before and while loggin in. .xinitrc is active mainly just after loggin in. So what is the thing they both do?

And since true is executable the Name Xinitrc is now displayed. This approach is probably not intended by the creator. But it works for me.
