I'm not sure it uses that, it may be looking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc instead (this is on XFree86 3.2 tho). It's a good idea to make your own ~/.xsession anyway so you can make local customizations. Usually the last session will be run with 'exec', so in my .xsession I have: xsetroot -solid "#266294" xrdb -merge .Xresources exec fvwm the 'exec fvwm' makes fvwm the blocking process. To log out, I just quit fvwm from it's popup menu. (I'm running an ancient version of fvwm that starts up my xterms for me.) Note that if there are any problems, a ~/.xsession-errors will be created with the stdout/stderr output.
