+Note that in the Debian system, what many people traditionally put in the
+.I .xinitrc
+file should go in
+.I .xsession
+instead; this permits the same X environment to be presented whether
+.IR startx ,
+.IR xdm ,
+or
+.I xinit
+is used to start the X session. All discussion of the
+.I .xinitrc
+file in the
+.IR xinit (1)
+manual page applies equally well to
+.IR .xsession.
+Keep in mind that
+.I .xinitrc
+is used only by
+.IR xinit (1)

-The
-.I .xinitrc
-is typically a shell script which starts many clients according to the
-user's preference.  When this shell script exits,
-.I startx
-kills the server and performs any other session shutdown needed.
-Most of the clients started by

-Below is a sample \fI\.xinitrc\fP that starts several applications and

-the window manager has been configured properly, the user
-then chooses the ''Exit'' menu item to shut down X.
