Having seen that ~/xsessionrc does nothing particularly special for
starting an X session (apart from what has been described earlier) we
can move on to

Only two? Where does that leave

  xterm &
  setroot -solid blue
  xbindkeys

Where would they go?

You may; but any advantage it gives is not explained. One may as well be
reading the lightdm manual for guidance about what a session manager
does.

This (like environment variable definitions) can be put in ~/.xsession.
Substituting ~/xsession for ~/.xinitrc in the first two paragraphs of
this Arch wiki page

  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit

reinforces the the concept.

I don't think I shall be pointing a user to this wiki page in its
