Commenting out the "twm" line does indeed mean that you're trying to run with no window manager.

I am having problems starting Gnome.
I have installed xfree86-base xfree86-rootless gnome-libs
Without creating the ~/.xinitrc file, XDarwin will start and I get the standard xterm windows.
I created ~/.xinitrc and tired the sample commands from the Dcoumentation, Running X11 - 4 Starting XFree86, 4.3 The .xinitrc > File:
source /sw/bin/init.sh exec gnome-session
But, the X crashes. I then copied /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc and added the line, source /sw/bin/init.sh on line 4 of the file, and then exec gnome-session at the end.
XDarwin starts up, but goes into the twm window manager with xterm windows and clock, but no Gnome.
I tried to comment out out the twm & line, but I just get the xterm windows and clock, but no window manager at all.
Lastly, I commented out all of the lines after # start some nice programs and added only:
exec gnome-session
But, XDarwin crashed.
What am I doing wrong?
