    According to the Debian reference Debian uses both ~/.xsession and
    ~/.xinitrc for setting up an X-environment.

    I use wdm as display manager and need a personal PATH.

    If I set it up in ~/.xsession it works as desired but if I now login on
    a terminal and start a separate X-Server my ~/.bash_profile is executed
    what is right and also the ~/.xsession is executed.

    But I don't want ~/.xsession to be executed because the environment has
    already been set up in ~/.bash_profile.

    I hope you understand me.

    I want ~/.xinitrc (and only ~/.xinitrc) to be executed if I use a
    display manager and ~/.xsession only to be executed if I use startx.

    Is this possible or is there a Debian way to set up a separate environment for Xand login shells?
