kdm configuration (fluxbox startup) - Debian

I'm running Debian Sarge with kdm (4:3.3.32). According to the kde help
center, the kdm configuration file is $KDEDIR/share/config/kdmrc, but I
found it in another location at /etc/kde3/kdm
However in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, I cannot find the SessionTypes key
(mentionned in the help center) ?!

I would like to add a few startup commands (for example xmodmap
$HOME/.xmodmaprc, ...). With kde 3.3, I use the $HOME/.kde/Autostart
directory to put my startup scripts. However this is specific to kde. For
fluxbox, I tried $HOME/.fluxbox/startup but it doesn't work.

Thanks

You can put such scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/

I created a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ to read my .bash_profile, and I
added some startup commands to the bash_profile. It works : my bash_profile
is executed !
Thanks

You don't want to do that. The scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ are
executed for any user, so your .bash_profile will also be executed when
any other user logs in--that's unsafe.

Any scripts you put into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ should be pretty much
self-contained, e.g.:

--------/etc/X11/Xsession.d/43-xmodmap----------
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e '...'
-----------end-------------
