xset not being executed in my .xsessionrc file

I need to set some trackpoint settings automatically. I don't know the best file in which to place these commands, but I used .xsessionrc. The xinput commands are properly executed. But the xset command is not.

Can anyone help me figure out how to run all these commands, including xset, automatically?

Here are my commands:

xinput set-prop "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick)" "Device Accel Profile" 7
xinput set-prop "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick)" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.45
xinput set-prop "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick)" "Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration" 40
xinput set-prop "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick)" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 40
xset m 40 80

I can run the exact same xset command after I log in and it works as intended.
