Make sure you don't have a bad ~/.xinitrc file in your $HOME
directory. I ran into this problem this weekend while moving
everything from my ThinkPad 600 running SuSE 9.2 Pro Linux to a
PowerBook running OS X Tiger. There was an .xinitrc file that
tried to start the SuSE KDE window manger, which is a bit
difficult as it doesn't exist on the PowerBook.

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual
way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of
complaining.
