After the first few start-ups after installing XQuartz I decided I didn't need

the Mac OS X 10.6.4 update.

Have you already tried the usual instructions for disabling the auto-starting 
xterm?

Following the directions on the forum, I commented out the bottom of the xinitrc script from twm & to the last line of xterm starts. There is no change; a small xterm screen still presents after login.

Is there some other place XQuartz looks for login scripts to start X things? I've set XQuartz to start on login and configured it to start nothing using the Applications/Customize' feature under the icon. Might there be another xinitrc script for XQuartz?
