That file is executed multiple times during a session. I'm not sure how it can work for everything else. Also the fact that XFCE has it's own configuration, if it's not configured from there could cause conflicts. IMHO a better place would be .xsession if using a display manager or Xinit if using startx. If using XFCE as your DE it's own settings tool would be the best place. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
