The period is like an include operator in sh. So
period-space-filename is as if that file's contents were cut and
pasted into the current script.

So, to be perhaps excessively detailed, you are now including the
contents of a system wide file in the script that launched Xfce.
xinitrc loads values from /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and then launched the
session manager, the session manager inherits those locale values and
passes them on to the various applications it starts, like the panel,
or the file manager. Apps then launched from the panel, the file
manager, or the desktop inherit the locale.

Tell me if this works
