I use gdm and set it to use Xclients for startup. From there, my 
~/.Xclients file contains:

#!/bin/sh
[...]
xrandr --output eDP1 --right-of DP2
setxkbmap -option compose:ralt
[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
[...]
exec wmaker
exec xterm

You can also choose specific layouts with setxkbmap.

HTH,
