not sure about Ubuntu, but in Slackware there's /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc script 
which gets executed after login and is responsible for starting up the window 
manager and aux programs. Usually that's a symlink to either xinitrc.kde or 
xinitrc.twm.

I would:

# cd /etc/X11/xinit/
# cp xinitrc.twm xinitrc.rio
# E xinitrc.rio  (or vi xinitrc.rio, if you wish)
# rm xinitrc; ln -s xinitrc.rio xinitrc

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
   <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional 
ROT13 encoding.
