When I first installed XDarwin, I closed all of the windows after I launched it the first time. After that, I could not figure out how to open apps after launching XDarwin until I installed OroborOSX. it is a window manager with MacOSX enhancements. It gives you a macosx menu you can configure to launch different X11 apps: http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/ne...mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search=orobor

you need to launch it from your ~/.xinitrc file. See Fink's documentation on installing XDarwin for more details.
Or you can do it manually by setting the DISPLAY environment variable and launching it.
