When I used gdm (I now use xdm with some custom restart/reboot buttons)
I used to have more or less a duplicate of my .xinitrc in some
/usr/local/ directory which was pointed to as the exec argument in the

figuring out by looking at the entries from other window managers listen
in gdm, that's what I did.
