How to set up your .xinitrc/.xsession (Contributed by Verin) 1) The place of .xinit in things You have to understand that a windowmanager is just one more application for X, like netscape or gimp or xterm. Many people new to X come to believe that X runs the window manager and the window manager runs programs. But thats not true. If configured right, you can run all your applications under X, kill the window manager, and start another window manager up. The *real* program that X runs, that runs other programs, is your .xinitrc or .xsession script. When X is started, your .xinitrc or .xsession script is run, and when the script is done, X comes down. Let me repeat that, its important: WHEN .xinitrc IS FINISHED, *THAT* IS WHEN X ENDS. It isn’t when your windowmanager exits.
