.xinitrc doesn't exist in my home dir. Neither did .xsession until I
created it and added the line:
xmodmap .xmodmap
Then when I try to login, I get dumped out, presumably because
.xsession doesn't end with a line like
exec wmaker &
I thought I read that .xsession is more general than .xinitrc because
xdm will read xsession but not xinitrc.
Since these files didn't exist before, I'm guessing that a default
xsession or xinitrc was being read from somewhere else, but I couldn't
figure out where. If I could find it, I could use it to create a
customized one in my home dir, right?
