If you are using runlevel 5, the GUI login, your local hook is
~/.Xclients and ~/.Xclients-default. The former usually calls the
latter. My .Xclients reads:
#!/bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi
I think I would put in near the top of that file, after the
#!/bin/bash line.
