Sure - of course, I mistyped in my mail. The point is, that my .xinitrc file worked under 10.3.1. I could export DISPLAY=:0 and start X11 process from Terminal.app. I can't any more - not even open a xterm from X11.app as long as I have a .xinitrc file.
I think I'm going for a reinstall and see what happens.
Thanks to all
Steffen

I concur. The last line in my .xinitrc file is "exec quartz-wm" which
will replace the running of the .xinirc script with the process which
is the window manager. Since that continues to run, X11 continues to
run. When I exit the WM, X11 will exit.
