Thanks for the reply.  I wasn't very clear at first- I've modified a
file that is provided by a package (/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession, provided by
xorg-x11-xinit for fedora 13 for the curious) but when I update that
package it copies over a new version of the file and removes my edits.
I'm not looking to build my own RPM (which is my understanding of where
the %config(noreplace) comes into play) but just somehow mark this file
so it isn't changed.  I can blacklist the whole package, but I'm looking
for something a little more granular.  I understand if it's something
yum isn't capable of, I just haven't been able to find anything that
says one way or the other.
