I wonder if your .xinitrc is actually in use. Are you using startx to
start the X server? (If you're logging in via a graphical log-in manager,
then you're probably not using the .xinitrc any longer).
I ask because the last line appears to be starting Window Maker, while you
later refer to XFCE; if you're intentionally running Window Maker as the WM
for XFCE, then that's all fine and as it should be (although I'm not
certain where XFCE is being started from).
I suspect that instead, another script is being run that is starting an
XFCE session, and your .xinitrc is no longer in the loop.
One way to check is to create a new .xinitrc that contains only:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/xterm
then restart and start X again. If you get nothing but an xterm, then
indeed, you're using the xinitrc.
