but without 'exec' 
because exec will replace .xinitrc's shell with another program.
So:
export LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R # <-- this is for xdm started sessions
xsetroot -solid SlateGray
xbiff -geometry -0-65 &
xclock -digital -geometry -0-0 &
xterm &
exec mwm   # <---------------- We don't need .xinitrc anymore
