Your suggestion accords with my own guess. However, when I cp ~/.xinitrc
~/.xsession and then start my display manager, the file is not being
read.

My particular concern is that I use uim-anthy for Japanese input
initialize it before starting X. I could create a simple shell script to
init the applications that I need, but it would be a hassle to configure
the various wm's and de's that I use to work with it.
