I had the same thing happen last night. However, this is what the default .xinitrc sets up. I don't believe that X crashed because the xterms work fine. TWM is a low profile bare-bones window manager without much in the way of bells and whistles.
I edited .xinitrc to replace twm with sawfish and that worked ok. However, I could not get GNOME to start :( Any ideas? Perhaps my gnome-session file is corrupt. That is just a guess. I'll have to explore that tonight. I'm running 10.1.2 and the XonX 1.06.1 server.
