Starting Applications With X At Login
So, I wanted to see if I could just use X without a desktop. I installed Debian from a netinstall on a vm and installed xorg with apt. Logged in as a normal user with startx and had a big black background. Seemed like everything was working as expected, so I went to configure tint2 at start up. I tried putting it in .xinitrc and .xsessions, but neither worked even though a lot of online tutorials suggested this. Even tried making a script in /etc/profile.d/, but that didn't work either.
I should note I also tried restarting X and rebooting to make sure things worked or didn't. Not sure if maybe some syntax has changed for this, but any suggestions would be much appreciated.
