>Description:
If .xinitrc only contains 'exec ${windowmanager}' X will not accept keyboard input and there's no mouse pointer. I tried cwm, dwm, and twm.
>How-To-Repeat:
echo "exec twm" > ~/.xinitrc
startx
>Fix:
Start another application before launching the window manager

echo "xterm &" > ~/.xinitrc
echo "exec twm" >> ~/.xinitrc
startx
