You can use "xrdb -query" to find out.

In general, I would *not* expect ~/.xinitrc to be used by a display
manager login.  Even when you were presumably using startx, you were
supposed to have moved the ~/.xinitrc to ~/.xsession decades ago.

The ~/.xsession file is used by traditional display manager logins (xdm)
as well as by Debian's startx.
