I will send via private email a copy of my /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc, which is
untouched from Apple's distribution.  Put the file I send you in your home
directory and name it xintirc (NOT .xinitrc).  Once you have the file, please
do the following and show me the results for each step.

	cd ~
	mv .xinitrc .xinitrc-problems
	sudo cp xinitrc /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc
	cd /etc/x11/xinit
	sudo chmod 0444 xinitrc
	ls -la

As I said, let me see the results of all commands before you try to run X11 again.
