My humble recommendation:
Set up .xsession to taste. Mine looks like:
exec wwwoffle -online &
exec xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults &
exec grdb &
sleep 2 && exec bbpager -w &
sleep 4 && exec bbkeys -w -t &
sleep 6 && exec panel &
sleep 8 && exec gkrellm &
exec blackbox
NOTE: This file MUST be executable (chmod +x ~/.xsession). If your file isn't
executable, the display manager won't read/run the file. Once this has happened,
simply make ~/.xinitrc a symbolic link to .xsession. Xinit isn't nearly as picky
about files as Xsession.
Make sure that your DM is running the `default'-ish script (with Debian, the GDM
option is `Debian' or `Xsession', and the KDM option is `Default') for your session
type, and not trying to call blackbox directly (as some DMs do).
Keep us posted.
