Here's my complete .xinitrc, which I am currently using and
gives me no problems.

----
xinput set-button-map "Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless
PID:1028" 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7
xinput set-button-map "Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless

. /home/dsr/bin/xadjust
exec xfce4-session
----

Here's xadjust:

----
#!/bin/sh
xrandr  --addmode VGA1 1920x1200
xrandr  --addmode HDMI1 1920x1200
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1200
xrandr --output VGA1 --rotate normal
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1200
xrandr --output HDMI1 --left-of VGA1
xrandr --output HDMI1 --rotate left

xfce's Settings -> Display shows the config consistent with
this, and if I make changes there, they are adopted until the 
session ends.
