Some distros (definitely Debian, Fedora, others) ignore .xinitrc.  For Debian, 
the solution is to follow directions exactly for the .xinitrc solution, only 
the file should be saved to your home directory as .xsession instead 
of .xinitrc.  Don't forget to chmod 755 so the file is executable.

Good luck :-)
