If you are using xdm to start your X session you might need to call it
~/.xsession rather than .xinitrc. here's mine!
----------------------------------------------------
# This is the file to alter if starting up via xdm (graphical log-in)
# Multi-purpose xinitrc/xsession Uncomment the Window Manager you want!
# I want an xterm straight away
xterm -geometry 80x20+10+50 -fn 7x14 -fg white -bg black &
# ~/vital/tkdial &
# below sets background for fvwm2
# xsetroot -solid darkslateblue &
# for xscreensaver
xscreensaver -timeout 2 -cycle 2 -no-splash &
# should enable switchoff screen after inactivity
xset dpms 0 1200 2400
# exec fvwm2
# exec wmaker
# exec gnome-session
exec blackbox
