I'm trying to find the configuration file that startx uses to start the i3 window manager.
The weird part is, grep -r i3 returns no relevant results in ~ and /etc/X11/.
I have checked every file I can think of. My ~ directory does not have any .x* files in it. No .x* file in the /etc/X11 sub dirs has any reference to i3. I checked .xinitrc, .Xsession, etc.
But.. when I login, I can run startx and i3 magically starts. I am utterly perplexed.
Running Ubuntu on an odroid, but that shouldn't make a difference.
If it makes a difference, I installed i3 as root before creating my user.
