My fault,
rickdman # ls -al .xsession
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rickdman rickdman 9 May 22 23:12 .xsession -> .Xclients
My ~/.xsession is a symbolic link to ~/.Xclients
It is really a "treasure hunt" ..
rickdman # which startx (/usr/x is a homegrown link to /usr/X11R6 )
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx (Substitute X11R6 on your system )
rickdman # file /usr/x/bin/startx
/usr/x/bin/startx: Bourne shell script text
rickdman # less /usr/x/bin/startx
(which states: sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc )
rickdman # file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc: Bourne shell script text
rickdman # less /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
(which states:
[...]
# start some nice programs
if [ -f $HOME/.Xclients ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients
else
[...]
fi )
You Can Really learn a lot with less !
