Haroon,

Whew! I went back and re-installed with "custom install" to get the X11 Config package. Now I get quartz-wm. I never would have guessed that solution. You really should fix this installer bug urgently!

Cheers,

This is happening because X11 now reads /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc if ~/.xinitrc isn't present, but if you do not install the X11 Config package while installing X11 (which is the current default) then it will not install /etc/X11 (with the new xinitrc).

This is a bug and should be fixed in the next version. Unfortunately lot's of people are going to run into this.

Aaack! I just downloaded the new beta and installed it on top of my previous beta and now I get "twm" for a window manager. I don't have an ~/.xinitrc file so I wonder what is happening?
