A normal installation of Apple's X11 has the following entry in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
xserver -> ../../../../etc/X11/xserver
This means hat the SecurityPolicy is found in
/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
If you have something else, you should perhaps reinstall your
X11User.pkg and/or X11Update2006.pkg.

If your ~/.xinitrc exists, X11.app will execute it and shut down as soon
as every command in the file is executed. Therefore your ~/.xinitrc
needs to contain a last command that does not finish, usually something like
exec quartz-wm
Indeed, that was the issue! Thanks a lot!
