I had a similar problem to the above just now, and here's a diagnostic
sequence to try:

1.  Verify that your window manager works if you a $HOME/.xinitrc
instead of using the new-style $HOME/.xinitrc.d/foo.sh startup scripts (
cf.
http://finkers.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/user-customization-of-x11-on-10-5-and-10-6/
).  E.g.:

. /sw/bin/init.sh
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec kwin

$HOME/.xinitrc overrides almost every other normal X11
user-customization option.

2.  Assuming test 1 works, check what is in
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc .  This is important when using Fink's
"xinitrc" package.  In particular, if you have multiple Fink setups,
then you need to make sure that it is referring to the correct Fink
tree.  If not, use "fink reinstall xinitrc" to restore it.

3)  Once test 2 works, if you indeed have "xinitrc" installed, and are
attempting to use a $HOME/.xinitrc.d/foo.sh script to launch it, then
you need to make sure that you are actually set up to read files in
$HOME/.xinitrc.d, via creating a /sw/etc/xinitrc-last-hook file as per

http://finkers.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/finks-xinitrc-gnome-and-kde/
.

4.  Make sure that any launch script files from $HOME/.xinitrc.d that
correspond to the window manager and applications that you want to run
are executable.
