In a word, No. In a few more words, that's what the 'if [ -f <whatever> ]'
constructs are all about.
Have you tried making the changes that I suggested? In particular, the last
version of .xinitrc that you posted showed the last two lines to be:
exec wmaker &
exec xterm
This is guaranteed to do what you are seeing. Why? Because of what 'exec'
does. In the above case, 'exec wmaker &' replaces xinit with wmaker, which is
run to completion in the background, then quits. Since wmaker replaced xinit
(via the exec), the 'exec xterm' will ***never*** run. (Try 'man sh' and read
it all for better understanding.)
Please change these two lines to:
xterm &
exec wmaker
and tell us what happens. Take careful note that there is only one '&' and
only one 'exec' in the above.
