I don't think there is an easy way. If you make them immutable the install 
might fail outright.

The thing is that, IMO, RedHat should not be messing with these files in 
the first place.

For example, Xsession (used by xdm) checks for existance of /etc/xprofile 
and source it then - whatever modifications RedHat felt it needed to make 
should be done there.

As for /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc - it looks like I have been wrong, 
it is not overwritten, in fact I can't find this file on my other 
computer.
