	My RH history is catching up with me.  :) But actually it
makes no diff.  You dont need a .xinitrc if you have a valid
.xsession!  figure it out!! (hint: less `which startx` and follow the
logic)

	I got confused by my own fancy stuff, you need the ampersand
if you use xtoolwait (which I do), not otherwise.

	Actually, the best thing to do is 

$ less /var/lib/dpkg/available 

search for what is relevant and get a nice cup of cocoa!.
