That's precisely what I mean. In the old days, even if you have your
own .xinitrc, the global xinitrc would take care to run xrdb and xmodmap
for you if your files exist and are put in the correct places. All you have
to make sure is to run the window manager correctly.

The 'net used to be run by smart people; now many sites are run by
idiots. So SAD... (Sites that does spam filtering on mails sent to the
abuse contact need to be cut off the net...)
