Now, depending on how you are starting X and you VM, .bash_profile could or could not make sense. if you are entering a run-level that drops you into a vt then you manually kick xinit, startx, or watever, then it makes sence, but if you are going straight to to a login manager from init, it does not. In both cases I think .xinitrc is the file that will work best.

Hi Mauro, I remember when the CentOS problems first arose, and I redid
the page.  At the time, it worked with .bash_profile.  The thing is that
RH and derivatives boot into X by default, and the person who had the
problem awhile back preferred it that way.  So, .xinitrc usually isn't
the answer for them.  (Also with RH and its derivatives, I think the
file is XClients or something like that.)

It's like falling off a log.
