your .xinitrc should be a script which runs your preferred window
manager along with other useful things.
if you link it against the binary itself, you lose the ability to set
up other things prior to this.
in slackware you should have other scripts like
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.something, one for every wm you have installed,
and a symlink /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ponting to one of them.
take one of these as example to write your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.e17
putting in it the lines to start e, then make your .xinitrc (or the
system wide /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc if you want it to be the default wm
for all users) linking to it.
of course, if you do not have administrative privileges to put that
file in /etc/X11/xinit/ you should simply put it in your home as your
.xinitrc.
for example, here is how mine is at the very bottom:
XLeds num
PATH=$PATH:/opt/e17/bin
esd &
xscreensaver 2> /dev/null &
exec /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment
notice that every command that doesn't have to exit have to be
followed by an ampersand or the script will stuck there waiting for it
to exit.
notice also that I have e installed in an "unusual" path. If you have
it in a canonical path (e.g. /usr/local) you can safely omit the line
setting up the PATH variable.
