Hi Frank

The FAQ says



Q: Does X11.app process my .xinitrc?
A: Yes, if one exists, it will be used. If not, then it will launch /usr/X11/bin/quartz-wm and an xterm. You can customize launch your favorite window manager, customize your launched xterm or launch other applications from a .xinitrc.



Michael
