I believe xdm invokes your ~/.xsession file, if it exists. Make sure it's executable, and try doing "ln -s ~/.xsession ~/.xinitrc" and then run startx, to see if your ~/.xsession script fails. Also, your ~/.xsession script shouldn't exit until you want your X session to end. FWIW, the contents of my ~/.xsession is: ,----[ ~/.xsession ] | #!/bin/sh | | xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-space-ghost || true | exec gnome-session `---- This question is more appropriate for -user, by the way.
