No, that can't be integrated into xinit because xinit needs to work in the general case as well.
Most likely you are seeing some xauth errors. Your /var/log/system.log might have some helpful details. Also, you might want to delete ~/.Xauthority for good measure.
Does disabling xauth (look in the security tab in X11's preferences) "fix" the problem?
