Re: [orca-list] Getting lxde running on arch

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

In many, probably most cases I think either way will work. 
I usually have both to cover all bases...lol
Of course, if I could just test stuff, debug and hopefully fix things fulltime I would try one and then the 
other to see when one works and the other 
does not. 
I'd say as loong as you are using startx you will have the best results if there's any difference with things 
in your xinitrc. Some DMs don't seem to 
really pay attention to ~/.xinitrc even if it exists though, and in those cases I suspect the stuff in etc 
would be the way to go. I've heard of folks 
using gtkrc files as well, but those have never worked for me when I've tested them. That would have been 
using startx though, so perhaps with a DM???
