See my answer to Bret: the short version is that for things X, you typically
go to the xinit mechanism (which tries to gather system-wide and user-specific
things in a meaningful way), whereas for things shell (that might include
setting environment variables to help X programs called from the command
line find their stuff) you use .profile, .bashrc, .bash_login and friends.
For special cases (setting a key map) I'd try to find out whether there's
a "desktop environment" (in your case XFCE) way of doing things. Otherwise
you might be fighting you DE instead of using it.
