I am using SuSE 9.3.

I was going to add "exc waimea".

You don't have a /home/<username>/.xinitrc? If thats the case open a terminal and type
cp /home/<username>/.xinitrc.template /home/<username>/.xinitrc
Then you can edit it like i posted before.

Maybe Suse uses something else and they included the template if you want to override it.
