I copied /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc over to .xinitrc. The
original contents of xinitrc follow, with some comments removed for
terseness' sake:
=====
if test -r "/sw/etc/xinitrc-override"; then
. "/sw/etc/xinitrc-override"
elif test -r "/sw/bin/xinitrc.sh"; then
. "/sw/bin/xinitrc.sh"
else
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
x_bindir=/usr/X11R6/bin
if test -f $sysresources; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if test -f $sysmodmap; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if test -f $userresources; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if test -f $usermodmap; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
case "`/usr/bin/uname -r`" in
7*|8*)
if test -x "$x_bindir/xterm"; then
termcmd="$x_bindir/xterm"
else
termcmd="xterm"
fi
$termcmd &
;;
esac
if type quartz-wm >/dev/null 2>&1; then
sessionmgr="`which quartz-wm`"
elif test -x "$x_bindir/twm"; then
sessionmgr="$x_bindir/twm"
else
sessionmgr="twm"
fi
exec $sessionmgr
fi
=====
In my locally-changed .xinitrc, I've changed "exec $sessionmgr" to "exec
/sw/bin/metacity". I've made no other changes.
From within Terminal.app, I execute "xeyes &" and X11.app opens up and
xeyes opens -- but with quartz-wm running instead of metacity.
