Art,
Actually, xinit doesn't need an .xinitrc; it defaults to using xterm
as the initial x client -- no window manager, just the X server with a
single xterm; Ron's problem is (apparently) occurring when xinit
starts 'X'; we were just trying to narrow it down with that bare
experiment.
You're right, of course, if he wanted to do anything useful (like
have a window manager), he'd need an .xinitrc if running 'xinit'
directly.
