$HOME/.xsession, with a little x. This is FreeBSD 4.4, isn't it? Look
in /etc/X11/xdm. xdm-config has a line:
DisplayManager*session: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
Xsession has:
startup=$HOME/.xsession
[...]
exec /bin/sh "$startup"
With BSD most everything is configured with plain, simple text files,
and in many cases simple shell scripts. No inscrutable binary
"registry" database. There's a lot of indirection these days, where one
file refers to another which refers to another, but with a little
patience you can trace through and figure it out.
