This is excellent advice. Please Note: before these experiments, I simply had ~/.xinitrc, and startx worked. However, I was inspired by what is the new/current "debian way". On a whim, I removed ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession and I have no ~/.xsessionrc . So now things work as well as they did with ~/.xinitrc , but without any ~/.x* files! This is good. Clearly consolekit is started (logout, as well as reboot etc now work), my keyboard shortcuts work etc. This seems ideal - no per-user configuration, and it just works (TM)(C)(R).
