You can use "xrdb -query" to find out. In general, I would *not* expect ~/.xinitrc to be used by a display manager login. Even when you were presumably using startx, you were supposed to have moved the ~/.xinitrc to ~/.xsession decades ago. The ~/.xsession file is used by traditional display manager logins (xdm) as well as by Debian's startx.
