I don't have this problem. I can't think of a reason why I don't have
this problem, except perhaps the differences between the stock xinitrc
file (/private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) for Tiger's X11 and the
modified .xinitrc file inherited from my Panther installation. The
lines that are notably different are these (from Tiger):

if [ -f "$sysresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$sysresources"
fi

if [ -f "$sysmodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$sysmodmap"
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

In my .xinitrc, the quotes are not present:

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

The reason I suspect these lines as making a difference is that I did
try copying the /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to my home folder
and using it as a basis for my .xinitrc, with disastrous results. :-\
