Starting Xorg along with xterm?

Seems like I'm missing some obvious point, still...
Set up my Hardy Server install box to automatically login under unprivileged user account (via /etc/events.d/tty1), got Xorg & xterm installed. Edited ~/.bashrc so that X gets automatically started. Everything works up to this point. Now, got executable ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc with the same contents:
--
#!/bin/sh
xterm
--
As the system boots, I get plain X with no evidence of xterm anywhere. What do I get so wrong? TIA.

P.S. Running GDM, etc. is not an option.

You may use this one, that s one of the best autologin, and not Ubuntu way with gdm , i.e. designed for slow machines.

Ah yeah, this worked out. Just had to aptitude xinit in order to get startx. And thanks for the link.
As for autologin part, I've got away with

Code:

exec /bin/login -f user_name < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>&1

as the the only exec part in /etc/events.d/tty1.
