# update-alternatives --display x-session-manager
x-session-manager - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/xfce4-session
/usr/bin/xfce4-session - priority 50
 slave x-session-manager.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/xfce4-session.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/xfce4-session.

I'm using xdm, which calls Xsession (as does startx), which in turn calls
x-session-manager.

It doesn't look as though /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc is being used. The only way
it seems that it gets called is to use startxfce4 or one of the bulkier
display managers (kdm or gdm).
