I did the following, on xubuntu 12.04. Maybe it'll help your setup:
Created "Xsession" session which will source .xinitrc
In /usr/share/xsessions/custom.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xsession
Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession
Then my .xsession is:
#!/usr/bin/zsh
# various other settings omitted (not relevant)
echo ".xsession parsed"
sawfish &
xfce4-panel &
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
Finally, I had to select the new session on the login screen (it's
called Xsession), then fiddle around a little bit with xfce's
session manager to make sure it didn't try to load another window
manager as part of a saved session.
For the record, my saved session is:
30 sawfish
35 xfdesktop
50 Power Manager
50 xfce4-settings-helper
Once I got that, I turned off automatic saving of sessions.
Apart from a bit of panel flashing at startup, everything seems to be
working well. Let me know if I can help further.
Sincerely,
Rafal Kolanski.
