Adriaan,
I didn't have any luck when I created the .xinitrc file so what I did
was created a link to /user/X11R6/bin/imwheel in my Autostart folder on
my desktop.
But before it would work as user I had to give users permission to read
and write to /tmp/imwheel.pid
I then restarted X and logged back in and it worked! Good luck
