It seems xinit is now executing the shell script 
/usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc (which tries starting a few xterms and 
twm) instead of /etc/X11/xinitrc (which runs /etc/X11/Xsession).

I temporarily fixed this by moving /usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc aside and 
making a symlink to /etc/X11/xinitrc.  Another possible solution might 
be to just symlink /etc/X11/xinitrc as $HOME/.xinitrc.

(I suppose on the upside of all this massive breakage, I finally have a 
reason to figure out how X works. :-/)
