If ax takes an argument (WM/DE) in the command line, it will search
WM/DE and if it finds the executable will overwrite .xinitrc.

I don't use .xsession.
If you want to run several programmes at start-up, you can insert in:
/usr/local/etc/ax/script.sh (global)
or
$HOME/.ax/script.sh (local)

If the files are present, ax make .xinitrc with a call to one (or both)
files passing a string with the name of a configured WM/DE.

In those files, simply posix shell script, it is possibile applications
can be launched conditionally depending on the WM/DE, for example in my
pc (I use lxde+openbox, only openbox, other WM/DE to experiment):

# taskbar and volume icon for openbox, lxde already has them
if [ "$1" = "openbox" ]; then
    tint2 &
    volumeicon &
fi

# notification-daemon for lxde and openbox
if [ "$1" = "lxde" -o "$1" = "openbox" ]; then
    dunst &
fi

It is convenient when you also have to try out different WM/DE and I
do/did it often in the past.
