It's something you either create, or don't create. People who use startx are practically guaranteed to be the types who would create their own .xsession files. Desktop Environment users who login with a GUI Display Manager tend not to be be the types of people to create a .xsession file, but it's never guaranteed. > Hm.

Not via "ps" or any other standard tools, no. The kernel doesn't track "birth parents" like that. The only way you could figure it out is if something writes that PID in a log file, and you happen to find that log.
