The "never quit" message doesn't mean that the previous XDarwin didn't 
quit, it just means the current XDarwin didn't quit cleanly. There's no 
fatal error message here. It's more likely that you have a .xinitrc script 
that is completing prematurely. When .xinitrc finishes executing, the X 
server is shutdown (this is a 'feature'). If your .xinitrc runs everything 
in the background, the script will finish immediately and XDarwin will quit. 

You should make sure that the last command run by .xinitrc runs in the 
foreground (i.e. does not have '&' at the end). Then XDarwin will keep 
running until the program run by that command quits.
