7 That twm session is the default (see end of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc)
8 if you don't specify what you really want. The xdm display manager
9 checks in ~/.xsession for the stuff you want to run (i.e. fluxbox),
10 but startx uses the file ~/.xinitrc for the same purpose. You could
11 probably just copy .xsession to .xinitrc for starters.
