I don't have any .xinitrc file, the startx command uses the system defaults, so I assume,
that in the end we're talking about gnome-session, since it is GNOME which starts when I
use startx.

Any help to diagnose this properly would be appreciated (I've looked over the files in
/etc/X11/... but I couldn't understand what's really going on).
