Frank, Try removing the "exec" and have the .xinitrc just read startxfce4 The only other thing I can think of is editing the file in a terminal. There have been some system files that if I edit in a graphical editor (Kedit on my KDE system) some extra characters somehow get in there and create odd problems, whereas if I use a text editor (edit, vi, etc) things work fine.
