Possibly this is an XQuartz problem but the weirdness now includes a full screen xterm starting. This last twist is since the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update.

	After copying xinitrc from /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc 
I modified that file. That was after discovering there were duplicates 
of the /opt/X11 tree under /usr/X11, not exact duplicates.

	So I got around to following the exact directions after modifying the 
original under the /usr tree, and then under the /opt tree and;

	nothing changed. And still nothing has changed. I restored all the 
originals to their original text.
