    Is it being used? I found when I disabled XDM, all my personalization
    in .xinitrc was ignored. I moved them to .xsession, and all worked as
    before. Others have mentioned that their system is exactly opposite
    to mine, so try moving them to .xinitrc

    Here's some additions to your startup file (whichever you end up
    with). Note the mentions of .Xclients, .xmodmap, and .Xresources; I
    use .Xclients to start up the _applications_ I want running in X.
