If you had another window manager running, then you'd expect to see something like
/sw/bin/<something>wm, or /usr/bin/<something>wm (or some other filename). It doesn't look like such a thing is there.
You must be using the system's startup file then (/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc).
Also, check the message from Jonathan LaCour .

To make certain that everything was correct, I recompiled and reinstalled the new X11 code. I then a complete shutdown of my computer.

Again, this is beyond anything I know about. Any help appreciated.

Do you have your own .xinitrc file, or are you using the system's? If you
do have one, then what's in it?
Also, you might want to check all running processes with "ps aux" and see if
there's another window manager running that didn't get killed by the logout
(not sure if this can actually happen, but let's check).
