This might be the problem.  I'm not sure that .xinitrc is sourced if
using a display manager.  I typically set environment variables in
.bash_profile or .bashrc.  I can't remember which is sourced, or if
either of these are, when logging in via a display manager.  I looked at
the X man page and the one for xinit but didn't get the answer I was
looking for.  According to this page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

The use of .profile or .bash_profile is deprecated.  I've never used the
solution mentioned here but you might want to give it a try.

Best regards,
rdc
