 If I replace the invocation of 'twm' in my .xinitrc with 'startxfce4'
 and run 'xinit', I get this:
 
 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
 /usr/pkg/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
 xmodmap:  /home/smb/.xmodmaprc:4:  bad keysym target keysym 'Pause', no 
corresponding keycodes
 xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.

 The application 'xfce-mcs-manager' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
 most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
 the application.

 FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 
1; fixing.
 X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
 
 It then exits X.  (X had fired up, and even shown a window or two before
 everything died.  I ran 'iceauth -v list' when I got back to my login
 shell:

 DCOP "" local/berkshire.research.att.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dc
 
 I switched my xinitrc file back to using twm, started X, and ran the same 
comand:
 
 Using authority file /home/smb/.ICEauthority
 ICE "" local/berkshire.research.att.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop13432-1060465658

MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 8f1c25faab08a1c687b4dd522320d99e
 
 If, while running X (and twm), I run my (xfce) xinitrc, I get 
 
 xmodmap:  /home/smb/.xmodmaprc:4:  bad keysym target keysym 'Pause', no 
corresponding keycodes
 xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.
 Agent pid 3315
 _IceTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.ICE-unix will not be created.
 _IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.ICE-unix) failed, errno = 2
 _IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local
 xfce4-session: Unable to establish ICE listeners: Cannot establish any 
listening sockets
 Agent pid 3315 killed
 
 If a create a .xinitrc file with just 'xterm' in it and get a single
 window in which I run startxfce4, I get the came .ICE-unix errors
 shown above.  Running the iceauth command afterwards produces
 identical output.
