Sorry; Xsession (and ~/.xsession) are for xdm; startx uses
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and ~/.xinitrc. If you don't have either of
those, xinit will run a xterm.

Most systems have a global /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which is often
customised by the OS distribution vendor (sometimes, it will try to
start Gnome or KDE, in which case just about anything can happen).

You can bypass the system's xinitrc by specifying a command to startx,
e.g.:

	startx /usr/bin/xterm

[The command has to start with a slash or period to be recognised.]

You can then try manually running individual commands from the
system's xinitrc.
