It did not work for me. I did some analysis and I think the problem comes from /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession. The stuff that sets $SSH_AUTH_SOCK & friends is in sys.xsession. This file is not executed if $HOME/.xinitrc is present (see line 229 and following in /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession) because the user's .xinitrc is executed instead. I feel that there is something wrong with the logic how and when these scripts are invoked since sys.xsession will call $HOME/.xinitrc. I suppose that $HOME/.xinitrc should not be executed to start the Xsession, only $HOME/.xsession should if present.
