<grasping-at-straws> I suppose you could try StartFunction as Thomas Adam suggested, but I can't think of any reason why that would work when InitFunction or SessionInitFunction didn't. Another possibility is to put it in your shell's startup file (e.g. .bashrc or .cshrc), which will cause it to be run whenever you start up an xterm or rxvt that is running a shell, but in that case it should be inside a conditional so that it is not run if DISPLAY is not set (i.e. if the shell is *not* running in an xterm, rxvt, etc). </grasping-at-straws>
