I am researching what the difference is between ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession and so far have only found: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue28/tag_xdmthread.html ...as the best source (adding "site:gnome.org" to my Google search was only mildly informative). Basically, is this site correct in saying that startx people should have a ~/.xinitrc whereas those who use xdm should have a ~/.xsession? I want to simplify, and also find a way to specify most of my setup (such as window manager, placement of icons and files on the desktop etc) BEFORE running startx (that is, by editing text and config files).
