Lots. :). Fortunately, startx(1) has now been altered to read:

  Note that in the Debian system, what many people traditionally put in the 
.xini‐
  trc file should go in .xsession instead; this permits the same X environment  
to
  be  presented  whether startx, xdm, or xinit is used to start the X session. 
All
  discussion of the .xinitrc file in the xinit(1) manual page applies equally 
well
  to  .xsession.   Keep  in  mind  that .xinitrc is used only by xinit(1) and 
com‐
  pletely ignored by xdm(1).

Basically, the files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d are not used with .xinitrc.
