Then maybe it's time to stop caring about portability to useless shells.
More broadly, it's probably time to deprecate startx and xinit, strongly
recommend the use of a display manager like gdm, and write a minimal
replacement in some sensible subset of bash/ksh.

See if the fix in this git commit helps:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrx/commit/?id=39f1f3f75b72f43637afeb963c8c83f080dd2635
Sorry about the mistake - I tested on Solaris & Fedora 9, but those have
either mozilla-plugin.pc or firefox-plugin.pc so the fallback didn't get
fully tested.

If you get a white screen when starting up compiz, your drivers are
almost certainly not setup correct. Are you using fglrx or the open
source drivers? If it's fglrx, you should ask on the appropriate forum
for help from AMD: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19
If it's the open source drivers, please attach or pastebin
your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and the output of
'LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo'.

It strikes me at this point that we never did formally deprecate xrx,
though we certainly intended to.

You can do it in portable shell, just don't pretend that it's everything
to everyone. Doing so will lead you to the creatively insane hell where
your X startup script is too complex to be written portably.
