1) Verify that all the apps that get called in the Linux .xinitrc are on your OSX box as well
2) For Apple's X11, make sure that you have the line
source /sw/bin/init.csh
--or, for sh purists--
. /sw/bin/init.csh
in it. I believe this isn't necessary for XFree86 but doesn't hurt--XFree86 seems to inherit your PATH rather than reading a builtin setup like Apple's X11 does.
Also, some window managers have a setup program that creates a .xinitrc to run them, e.g. WindowMaker's wmaker.inst program.

Hey Jeff,
I'm not sure if it's "typical" but this is the .xinitrc I had when I was on my
Linux box. I just transferred it over and didn't have any issues.

P.S. And, I haven't had any Fink issues with it.

In your .xinitrc file, place:
exec blackbox

But I cant get any of them to launch when I start x11. I scoured over documentation from all the window managers I installed. They never mention how to get the managers to run. I am using Mac OSX 10.3.2, X11 from the xcode tools c.d. that came with Mac OSX. I have Developer Tools installed, also X11-sdk. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
