You need to add it to ~/.xsession. [Note that if you want to use csh
commands in a script, you'll have to add #!/bin/csh to the beginning
of the file.] The last command in ~/.xsession should always "exec"
your session or window manager, like "exec xsm", or "exec xterm -T
login" (primitive) -- I use either "exec ssh-agent wmx" or "exec
ssh-agent gnome-session".
