Hi, I'm sorry but my email server seems to be a bit lazy so i got yours messages (and mine too) just a few minutes ago. First thing: thanks for your answers! I tried out many things yesterday and found the solution in the man page of xinit: startx simply uses xinitrc which reads ~/.xinitrc. I had not installed xterm so far but in some cases xinit falles back to an compile time standard an tries to run xterm as initial x client. I think that was the problem. After installing the xterm there were no more problems yet. The only thing I wonder is: why was the .xinitrc file ignored?
