Aha, must be that if there is no .xinitrc, the system reads the default xinitrc file
(e.g. in /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) rather than doing the hardwired thing. Solution
is to copy the default xinitrc to your home directory as .xinitrc and change the window
manager it starts up from twm to quartz-wm (and make whatever other changes you
want to the startup apps.)

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?
