[BL] aliases and .xinitrc

I was able to make separate .xinitrc's for each X program I want to load 
automatically when running X:

.xinitrc.opera   -
icewm&
opera&  (the exec was not needed)
rxvt (this stays there when you exit opera, and X closes when you exit the rxvt)

Then I made an alias to point xinit at this file instead of the default 
.xinitrc (in /root):  xinit -- /etc/.xinitrc.opera  (and Xvesa and screen 
resolution and -terminate)

Worked also for xv and xpdf.

How would I modify either the alias or the .xinitrc so as to load a file 
at the same time (xpdf-alias filename.pdf)?

I tried putting $1 after opera in .xinitrc and also in the alias and it 
only messed things up.
