Is there one slighter? What's the most slight?

Ok I tried to customise a ~/.xinitrc. Inside, I put:
exec /usr/lib/at-spi/at-spi-registryd
exec startlxde

Result: empty screen. What should I do so?

Completely right. But I dont find any method on the Internet. How can I do? No one would have the process? I 
haven't enough information about X and start process to do that alone, and I'm lost.

Thanks for answers,
