well I just reinstalled ARCH and decided to try out xfce and cant seem to get my mouse button mapping to be executed at the right time. it needs to be after X has started, I have tried putting it in ~/.xinitrc and /etc/profiles.d/xorg.sh where else could this command go?

I am assuming you are using xmodmap?
/etc/profiles.d is for bash settings when you login
where it goes depends on quite alot:
how are you starting X?
startx -> put the command in ~/.xinitrc
xdm -> put the command in ~/.xsession
gdm -> same as xdm??
kdm -> not sure, never used it
startxfce -> not really sure either, but I think there'sa startup file
there are also usually "startup" files for window managers... for instance, fluxbox has ~/.fluxbox/startup

You nailed that on the head I am using xmod map I really like my buttons to work... ya' know
I'm using startxfce4 in my ~/.bashrc but I'm thinking I need to change that b'c everytime I open a new shell it tried to start xfce so I need to move that too, any suggestions?
Thanks.

hmmm, I just manually run "startx" when I want to hop into X... you could try using something like xdm or gdm (add gdm to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf)
for using startxfce, add the xmodmap command to "$HOME/.xfce/xinitrc"
