I think you mean .xinitrc in the last sentence, and that is what I use. In general the gentoo way is that there is _no_ configuration done over and above what the upstream install process would do. That is very different from other distros and in particular from debian where a whole intricate infrastructure exists to handle .Xsession for any imaginable desktop and display manager. Look at the Xsession script somewhere under /etc/X11 on a debian box to see what I mean. So the answer to that question and your other question with vnc (and I'm sorry I don't have a direct answer, or I would give it to you, of course) is to study the documentation for the upstream projects, and set up your own intricate infrastructure if you need one. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
