Just edit the .xinitrc or the .xsession (whichever you use to start
with); you can make your mods there - as well as load heaps of other
cool things - here's mine for an example:

#!/bin/sh

#xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name watch

# Start-up stuff from ~/Desktop/Autostart directory, if it exists
# (as it seems to be the new standard)
if [ -d "$HOME/Desktop/Autostart" ]; then
  for i in `ls -1 ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/ 2>/dev/null`; do
    if [ -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i ]; then
      $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i &
    fi
  done
fi

if [ -f $HOME/.Xmodmap ]; then
	xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
fi

# Those are my settings, change them as appropriate...
# Xft DPI: 96
# Xft.hintstyle: hintnone/hintslight/hintmedium/hintfull
# Xft hinting: 1/0

xrdb -merge - << EOF
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
EOF

# Launch xscreensaver (if available)
xscreensaver -no-splash &

xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
#xftaskbar4&
xfce4-iconbox &
xfdesktop&
wmnet -t cyan -r blue &
wmfire &
wmcube -o /usr/X11R6/share/wmcube/multicube.wmc&
wmsysmon &
wmix &
# licq &
lineakd &
# gkrellm &
panel=`which xfce4-panel`
if test "x$panel" != "x" ; then
	$panel
	ret=$?
	while [ $ret -ne 0 ] ; do
		echo "A crash occured in the panel"
		echo "Please report this to the xfce4-dev at moongroup.com list"
		echo "Meanwhile the panel will be restarted"
		$panel
		ret=$?
	done
fi
xsetroot -solid black -cursor_name watch
/usr/lib/gconfd-2 &
