I'm afraid my knowledge of the bootsplash is not good enough to tell you anything useful, though I do know it has nothing to do with .xinitrc. :( As far as the graphical login is concerned: it's usually started by init. On my SuSE system, the started processes are defined in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d as runlevel 5 is my default. They might be in the /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d directory on your RH distribution (or something similar). The files in that directory are usually links to another directory where all possible scripts are located. The selection in the directory is different for each runlevel (runlevel 5 for instance should start graphical mode, while runlevel 3 doesn't). Hope this helps.
