Re: [dwm] How to properly execute DWM from GDM?

Hi

.xinitrc is executed as a shell script by xinit (see 'man
xinit'). In general, the display managers do not execute his contents
(but they allow different ways of defining what to execute at the start
of a session). Anyway, I do not see why not to try:

Exec=xinit

although this somewhat trivializes the need of a display manager.
