Richard,

Have you created a .xinitrc file in your home (/users/richard) directory? This file is not there unles you put it there. If the file is not there, then from the Terminal in OS X enter the following command:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

That's sudo [space] cp [space] /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [space] [tilde[(-- shift grave next to the number one on the number keys at the top of your board)/.xinitrc.

You will be asked for your admin password. Then enter the command

pico ~/.xinitrc

The file you just copied will open in the editor Pico. The top line will read #!/bin/sh. Move the cursor with the arrow keys to the end of the second line and press return. The type in: source /sw/bin/init.csh. Control O (letter) will begin the save of the changed .xinitrc file, y (for yes) will complete the file save, and Control x will exit Pico. Launch you X11 and see if that doesn't do the trick.
