and place this in your ~/.xinitrc:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch'
exec xterm -geometry 80x20+34+0 -ls -sb -rightbar -si -sl 10000 -j &

I really don't think you should have an exec there! It will replace the current process with the xterm process and hence the next line will not get executed.
Not at all, I start it in the background (with &), so as soon as it has started, the initial process regains access while xterm is detached from the main process, and the main process executes:

exec quartz-wm
As it is not started in the background, it remains active till an exit.

You don't need to "exec" the xterm in your .xinitrc. OTOH, "exec quartz-wm" transfers the shell process' context to the window manager; without the "exec", quartz-wm would run as an child process. It would also work, but the shell (the parent process) would continue to exist (blocked in a wait() call).
