Which program reads ~/.xsessionrc and how did you learn about it? Which man page describes it? Does its existence merely "add on" to some system-wide default script, or does it fully replace a system-wide script? > Which makes X sessions include the same profile as standard login > shells. Bash's initialization is a bit more complex than that. It will look for three different files (.bash_profile or .bash_login or .profile), in that order, and uses the first one it finds. I'd imagine zsh does something similar, though I don't use zsh. For pure POSIX sh or ksh, you would be correct.
