Which config file changes do I need to make?
This hit me, too. The previous version of startx would look for $(HOME)/.xsession as one of its possible configuration/clients files. That no longer seems to be the case, so you'll need an .xinitrc file. If you were using .xsession before, try: $ ln -s .xsession .xinitrc in your home directory. -- Michael A.
