Mostly, files that start with a period (such as .xinitrc) are special
files for specific applications (somewhat like *.INI files in Windows)
as to what behaviors to do, what commands to run, and so
forth. Sometimes (as in /etc/X11/xinit) there are samples of these, but
as it is strictly a user selection (some programs create their
'dot-files') when first run by a user as well) you wouldn't find them
installed as such on a new install.
In your case, you could simply copy /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to
/home/user/.xinitrc, and modify .xinitrc as needed.
Some of these 'dotfiles' will be created when you make a new user on
your system too.
