I did that, & the results seemed no different to me, except that the
latest software (java?) update seems to have broken both IDL70 and
IDL704, whereas the old IDL64 still works. I still have to launch
xeyes or some other simple utility to get the xquartz 2.3.1 to launch
along with Terminal.app.
Therefore, I'll leave it as you suggested.

looked at that file, and I run a clean installation of Leopard, so
I can't be blamed for changing it.

I see your point -- the code that runs the
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*.sh scripts should definitely be
run.
But it would really be nice if that xinitrc file was split into two
pieces, one to set up all the resources and fonts, and the other to
actually run programs (including quartz-wm). That way those of us
who
write our own ~/.xinitrc files could source the part which does the
resource setup, and choose our own programs to run.
