in /etc/inittab , even i make defaultinit to 2,3 or 5 , XDM run when i start my computer ...

this does not make sense... you mean either ~/ or /home/myuser/

If you're using startx you don't need to use the XDM/GDM/KDM programs. Reset inittab to the level where you log in at the command line.

Make .xinitc run the window manager you want.

I founded configurations files in "/etc/X11/xsession.d/"

it's work now !!!! :)
