Alexander, I've started over. Disinstalled everything and now am scrupulously following "Fun with Fink" in reinstalling. I think I messed up in one of two places: the XFree86 version I installed, or the unstable, compiled programs I added. Thanks for the quick response anyway.

Try running the Console utility (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) and then try to run from XDarwin.app--that way you can see the messages the same way you do from a startx. Alexander K.
