I'm not recommending a .xinitrc with strtx; quite the opposite. The DMs behave differently. It still comes down to why intrude on the user's province? One file, .xsessionrc, and one line in the file to disable the caps lock. The desire to go to root to do things easily done from a user account is prevalent. Is it worth having a multi-user system?
