[dwm] How to properly execute DWM from GDM?

Hey guys,

I apologize if this is a newbie question but I couldn't seem to figure it out. I recently installed GDM and added a 'dwm.desktop' file under /usr/share/gdm/BuiltInSessions. I am now getting it to show up on the session list. However, I can't get it to execute my .xinitrc. How is this done?

My dwm.desktop file is as follows:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=DWM
Exec=dwm
Icon=
Type=Application

I tried putting Exec=~/.xinitrc but that doesn't work.

Thanks.
