Well, yeah, but if you don't have it then you don't have a problem,  
right?  You can just set it in xorg.conf, then. ;)

If you run X from the command line, the "startx" script takes care of  
actually kicking off the X binary.  If you're running some kind of  
graphical login (gdm/xdm/kdm/etc...) it's probably in the  
configuration file for that program -- check the manpage.  Once X is  
running control gets handed to either /etc/X11/Xsession (for  
graphical logins) or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (for startx).  In many  
distributions one of these scripts simply sources the other.
