Where should .xsession be?

Hi, all!

I'm just following the Arch wiki [0] to set-up xdm. The wiki calls for a chmod of .xsession. As an absolute file path isn't given for this file, can anyone confirm where it should be? Once I know this, I will test the xdm set-up and then update the Arch wiki.

### Edit: Seems like the 'xorg-xbutton' package that is called for in the wiki no longer exists, either, I'll update the wiki when I've figured it out.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris.

in $HOME. if you don't have it there, copy it from /etc/skel/.xsession

.xsession does the same thing as .xinitrc, you shouldn't need it when you already have the latter. I don't understand why that wiki article specifically states to chmod .xsession, i believe that line could be removed.

XDM doesn't use .xinitrc, just .xsession - or at least that's how I remember it, haven't used it in years.

Ok, thanks guys! Seems a little bit of work needs to be done on the wiki. Appreciate your replies.

Chris.
