Or you can do this (from Mats Weber in comp.sys.mac.system):
(start quote)
There is a way to change that without modifying anything in /System:
- Create the directory ~/Library/Keyboards (if it does not already
exist) and cd to it, then do
ln -s /System/Library/Keyboards/Suisse.keymapping USA.keymapping
and then restart X11.app.
(end quote)
I haven't tested it myself yet.

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.

You should have a exec there though. (If this is really necessary or
not I don not know, I do remember though something about if you don't
have that exec, X11 will stop after running .xinitrc. I.e. it waits
for the process which runs .xinitrc to stop running and then assumes
the session is over. Can someone clarify/freshen up my memory?)
