If you want xprofile to be compatible with xinit, here it is.

DCR>    Should we just create a custom /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc with something like:

DCR>  #!/bin/sh

DCR>  [ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
DCR>  [ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile

In case you are wondering, sddm executes xprofile natively, just like
xinitrc, so it is configured as follows.

  $ cat /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsession | grep profile
[...]
      $SHELL -c "if (-f /etc/csh.login) source /etc/csh.login; if (-f ~/.login) source ~/.login; /bin/sh -c 'export -p' >! $xsess_tmp"
    . $xsess_tmp
    rm -f $xsess_tmp
    ;;
  */fish)
    [ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
    [ -f $HOME/.profile ] && . $HOME/.profile
--
    $SHELL --login -c "/bin/sh -c 'export -p' > $xsess_tmp"
    . $xsess_tmp
    rm -f $xsess_tmp
    ;;
  *) # Plain sh, ksh, and anything we do not know.
    [ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
    [ -f $HOME/.profile ] && . $HOME/.profile
    ;;
esac

[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f /usr/local/etc/xprofile ] && . /usr/local/etc/xprofile
[ -f $HOME/.xprofile ] && . $HOME/.xprofile

That is, profile and xprofile are treated equally.

Best Regards.
