Xstartup file failure - HELP !!

Xstartup file failure - HELP !!
Hi, dear Experts !
I need some help, again.
Earlier in my work I experienced that one script included in '/etc/dt/config/Xstartup' file caused some serious troubles. But this is another story.
The point here is: I changed the script so that it worked again.
But... After restart of machine I realised that the "bad" script occured in Xstartup again.
Does anybody know why the modified script was replaced by the old one ? I tried to find out asking our admins, but the only thing they referred to was a file 'Xconfig', which I didn't find anything strange with.
Or am I wrong ? Perhaps there is another file/routine which replaces the Xstartup when user logs in to the machine ? In that case, where does it take the "replacement file" ? Maybe I should edit the Xstartup several places, or is it another script I need to modify ?
Could anybody send some comments ?
Thanks in advance
Dennis

script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
