..xinitrc and similar 'dotfiles' aren't generally present on a new
distribution. For the most part, these are user and application-specific
files, somewhat used in the same vein as INI files under Windows. Redhat
does have a 'xinitrc' file (without the leading period) -- you could
copy that into your home directory, and then edit it, without corrupting
the original. The one in /etc/X11/xinit is a sample.
