It's usually the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.

It delegates the work to other skripts. You have to read 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc if you want to see, what it does.

On fedora systems the script /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients is called if 
there's no $HOME/.Xclients. This script looks in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, 
what you preferred desktop is.
