I use .xinitrc, and start X from CLI (ssh-agent startx). No [XKG]dm.

Weird.

Not using a graphical login is different from using one, in my
experience. No XDGdm means ~/.xinitrc, so here's my ~/.xinitrc:
-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# --------------------------------------------------------
# startx only.
#
# 7Nov2005 - sbk. not used by [gkwx]dm? This finally
# works brilliantly.

# Desired window/session manager.

fi
if [ -f /etc/X11/Xresources/xfree86-common ]; then
# trivial; "*customization: -color"
xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
fi
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
if [ -e $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
if [ -e $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
else
# fix the mouse at the least (for LEFT HANDERS).
#

fi
# Turn off screen blanking.

# What's the X Window startup file's (me) name?
#
export XSTART=${0}
env > ~/.xenv
# This makes X work for root "su" logins.
#
if [ -z "$XAUTHORITY" ]; then
XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
export XAUTHORITY
fi
# This starts x-window/session-manager program (untested).
