Hello again, Sorry about spamming your inbox but it seems once again I have managed to solve my own problems! Woo! Ion is working on OS X.
I'm only sending this on the assumption this mailing list has publicly accessible archives so that other googlers may find the answer. When starting X11 from the GUI on Mac OS X it doesn't work simply to have exec ion in your .xinitrc file. Instead you MUST include the following exec bash -l -c "ion" This is restated elsewhere but the importance was not stated. I hope this helps someone.
