You're missing the call to the window manager (quartz-wm). Rather than making your own fresh .xinitrc, copy the system default xinitrc file
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc chmod u+w .xinitrc That second line makes it possible for you to write to the file. To make X11.app understand fink, put "source /sw/bin/init.sh" on the line before "userresources=$HOME/.Xresources". If you want other programs to run on startup, place them after the xterm line near the bottom. Make sure you put a & after each command, so that the script goes on to the next line, and make sure that "exec quartz-wm" is the last line (AND doesn't have a &).
