    Jan,

    Which version of SuSE are you using? I am using 8.1 and it works. However, I
    have Mandrake 9.2 running on another system and I have had to create a file
    in /etc/X11/xinit.d with my desired changes. You see /etc/X11/Xsession loops
    through all the files in that directory. It may be this way in later
    versions of SuSE also. You could create a file in /etc/X11/xinit.d which
    checks for the existence of an xinitrc file in the user's home directory and
    runs it if found, if you wish to keep things as you are familiar.
