Hi Brian, thanks for your answer.

I use the binary version that came with my RPM: xfce-session-0.1.4-1mdk

ps -ef shows:
[...]
alex      5465  5384  0 17:45 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/xfce4-session
alex      5532  5465  0 17:45 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh
/etc/X11/xfce4/xinitrc

which seems to indicate that xinitrc's pid is a child of xfce4-sessions,
isn't that weird?

And by the way, although ~/.xsessions-errors does show some activity,
putting gkrellm in ~/.xsession doesn't make it start either...
