You shouldn't be using this file as your ~/.xinitrc.  If you want to
make local customisations to the $sysconfdir/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc file,
copy it to ~/.config/xfce4/ and edit it there.  You should always start
xfce by simply running 'startxfce4'.

As Olivier mentioned later on, also be sure to unset SESSION_MANAGER if
you start the vnc server from inside an existing xfce session.  So
really, your ~/.vnc/xstartup should just look like this:

- ------ cut here ------
#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec startxfce4
- ------ cut here ------

And that's it.  This assumes startxfce4 is in your PATH.  If not,
obviously adjust that as needed.
