That last line should be
exec twm
But I think I just noticed what could be the real problem, which is the top
line in the file. But first a question: What X11 are you using? The one
from Apple or one that you built via Fink? (I'm guessing the one from Apple,
but the top line in your .xinitrc suggests maybe Fink or that Fink has seen
fit to modify /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which I think is where you started out
with your own .xinitrc).
Try the following two steps:
First, change that last line to:
exec twm
What happens? If it still fails, try changing the top line of your ~/.xinitrc
to the following:
#!/bin/sh
(be sure this line starts in the first column, I've indented above only for
clarity). Now what happens? If it works, change the last line back to
exec wmaker
Now what happens? If the twm version worked, my money says this one will,
too. If it still fails, tell us exactly what happens, and post your .xinitrc
once again.
