It depends a bit whether you are running X from the startx command
or whether X is started from xdm. In the former case the
system wide /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc takes care for this.
You can override this file by having your own .xinitrc in your
home directory.

In the latter case you can create a .xsession (as a copy of xinitrc)
and put the appropriate commands in there. Any errors occuring
during start of your session can be found in .xsession-errors.
