Re: .xinitrc not fully executing

Actually, I think that startx is the program that actually executes
.xinitrc (and xdm uses .xsession).  And I'm not using .workspace_state.  I
didn't compile that in.

As for the "exec" commands...  Originally I did not have exec in front of
any of the lines and it wasn't working.  So I tried putting exec in front
of them all and it still doesn't work.
