Just a quick guess, as I found some sources saying LightDM, GDM etc.
will not run /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or ~/.xinitrc:

Can any of you (or both?) try using ~/.profile instead of ~/.xinitrc?
Despite that it might be a good idea to place scripts running at login
into somewhere (~/bin) and to launch it via *.desktop file in
~/.config/autostart.
