>From my experience, any commands in ~/.xinitrc affect the entire X session. This is what my .xinitrc looks like:
source /sw/bin/init.sh source ~/.bash_profile xmodmap -e "keysym 59 = Delete" autocutsel & exec quartz-wm What it does is run the Fink path-fix script, loads my local bash settings, fixes the Delete key mapping, launches autocutsel (for syncronizing of the various X11 and Mac pasteboards), and finally runs Apple's quartz-wm (and makes it so when quartz-wm shuts down, so does everything else). In your case, it would probably suffice to only have two lines in that file, the one that runs /sw/bin/init.sh and the one to run your choice of window manager. Hope this helps!
