Hi.
Just spent few hours fighting with X11 session scripts.
It seems that they are slightly broken ;)
If you would look inside .xinitrc.template, you will see that
it is supposed to be called by /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession (judging
from the commented-out ssh-add line). However it's easy to check
(by simply examining the contents of /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession) that
in the presence of ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc they would be called
directly and not via sys.xsession.
The only reasonable workaround I have invented so far is to create
a dummy ~/.xsession, which just calls /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession and
then put all the things you wanted in .xinitrc.
Is it supposed to work that weirdly?

Best regards,
Alexander.
