FWIW here is my .xinitrc running with XDarwin:

[darwin:~] williamt% cat .xinitrc
# Fix the delete key

#xmodmap -e "keycode 59 = BackSpace"

# Window Maker default X session startup script
echo "Setting PATH"
PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"
LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1

# If you login from xdm, uncomment this to make error messages appear
# in the console window.
#
# tail -f /Users/williamt/.xsession-errors > /dev/console &

# fix cut and paste
echo "Starting autocutsel"
exec autocutsel &

#*******************************************************
#   W I N D O W   M A N A G E R

WINDOW_MANAGER=enlightenment

#for WindowMaker
#exec wmaker

#for Oroborus
#echo "Starting oroborus"
#exec oroborus &
##fspanel &

#for SawFish
#echo "Starting Sawmill"
#exec sawfish &

#for xfce
#echo "Starting Xfce"
#exec xfce &

#*********************************************************
#  R O O T   W I N D O W

#for Gnome Session
echo "Starting Gmone session"
exec gnome-session

#just use panel
#echo "gnome-panel"
#exec panel

#somebody has to stop this or XDarwin goes away
#echo "xterm"
#exec xterm


As you can see most of it is comments so changing stuff around and 
getting back to what I had is easy.  But the gnome-session seems to like 
having the WINDOW_MANAGER variable set.

I'm off today so I won't even try to get to Normal.
