As far as I know, /usr/local/etc/xfce44/xinitrc is started by xfce4
itself, I'm not sure which programm in itself. Where is at least on
other xinitrc file on your machine. It typically resides in your
HOME-Dir (called .xinitrc there) containing some information
about what to do when logging in to an X desktop and is called
everytime you start the XServer from a console using startx.
Starting from xdm or another graphical login uses.xsession for that.

However I couldn't find a process entry for xinitrc on my machine
(Debian 3.0 Woody). What are you uisng?
