i don't need any fixes or changes to the global xinitrc
since i have my own ~/.xinitrc.
also, your method doesn't sound like it would let me run the
window manager of my choosing. but perhaps it only sounds like
that. also, and the system's xinitrc runs programs that i don't
want it to run so replacing it entirely is the correct solution
for me.
i always thought the system xinitrc was just the default setup
for people who don't want to set things up for themselves.
it's not meant to be a straight-jacket that everyone has to
fit in.
to each their own.
cheers,
raf
