I've just installed Arch (incl. xorg and so on).... and according to the wiki I need to add various lines to ~/.xinitrc - only problem is, it doesn't exist......... is there a way of autogenerating this file, or should I just add some lines to a blank file, and never mind the rest??

Just create one which launches the programs and WM you want. My .xinitrc looks as follows for openbox:
#!/bin/sh
nitrogen --restore
visibility &
exec openbox

check to make sure you have the xorg-xinit package installed. I do believe this is the package that has that file but I could be wrong. The default file should be located in /etc/shell. You can always copy that file into your home dir as well.

Actually, /etc/skel . And the file was moved from the "filesystem" package to xorg-xinit within the last 8 hours
