Xinit's precedence order after invoked with startx

Part I

"If you log in in text mode then start a GUI session with xinit or with the wrapper script startx, then xinit does the following things:

  • Start an X server (typically through the script /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc).
  • Usually run some scripts in /etc/X11 (typically /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc), depending on how it's set up.
  • Run ~/.xinitrc, if it exists. If it doesn't exist, run a default client (traditionally xterm).
  • Once ~/.xinitrc terminates, kill the X server.

If you log in in graphical mode on an X display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm, lightdm, …), traditionally, what is executed after you log in is some scripts in /etc/X11 then ~/.xsession.
