startxwin.bat - how to use an .xinitrc file


I have several things that I like to have run when I start an xsession and normally I would put these into a ~/.xinitrc file to have them run at X startup time.

However, when I run startxwin.bat it does not appear to execute the .xinitrc file automatically. Therefore I have had to manually edit the startxwin.bat file and add my custom stuff.

I"d like to find a way around editing startxwin.bat since after every xfree update I have to re-edit the file and re-add my custom lines.

Am I missing something here? Is there a way to get startxwin.bat to automatically find $HOME/.xinitrc or would this be a good enhancement request?

Thanks,
Mike Campbell
