Hi, AKH.
You're probably right. I was starting by double-clicking X11, and
getting the error message from Console. Someone told me to try
starting from Terminal, which I did, and got a subsequent message in
Terminal:
after the same "could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
fonts/CID/, removing from list!"
came:
..
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
..
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
over and over til I terminated.
But I don't think it's xinitrc, because after fooling with it (and the
whole situation ) A LOT over months with no result, I got mad and threw
~/xinitrc away. Repeatedly. (There are many other xinitrcs all over the
place I could copy to start over.) Also threw away the app icons to
XDarwin and X11 away. I didn't know that left behind a bunch of
esoteric files.
I just love admitting to ignorance and temper.
Thank you, and Martin Costabel who also posted, for your trouble and
time. Maybe what I need to know is what to get rid of to start fresh.

Ah! This is documentented--though the context isn't identical:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/trouble.php?phpLang=en
A solution is pretty simple:
rm ~/.Xauthority
touch ~/.Xauthority
I have this problem fairly often, possibly because I switch between
XDarwin.app and X11.app.
