So, although those xset commands work I have to run them every time, the commands in .xinitrc clearly aren't being run.
I have a feeling this is because kodi is being started using xinit run from a systemd unit file so it isn't reading /kodi/home/.xinitrc.
So the plan is to set the home environment variable in the unit file (like below) and see if that works. Will test when the box is free.
