From what I've been able to find, there isn't one. Its lack causes

it; otherwise, it starts quartz-wm and one xterm. There have been
others posting wanting to have another system default. I don't
understand why apple would want to remove this ability to set a system
default that's reasonable for the particular system's users. (I can
see hardcoding the default just in case a system xinitrc doesn't
exist.)

Thanks for the information. But it's disappointing. They seem to have a
single user mentality,
In my case, I wanted to learn the system defaults before I changed it.
My primary issues are to set automatically my xhost settings and to
xrdb merge my .Xresources and Xdefaults. I'm tired of typing 'xhost +'
on every session. One thought, can Xauthority be used to always allow
specific hosts? How?
It is useless to have an X server when by default it works only as a
client.

Also, I have seen a number of issues that have been "resolved", but
no mention if a new version has
been posted to apple's download site, How do a keep current? How will
I know when to download a
new beta?
