Maybe rename /home/frank/.xinitrc to /home/frank/.xinit.rc.backup Then copy /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to /home/frank and rename xinitrc to .xinitrc (and chown it to frank while youre at it). As you have it now and you start as root it currently uses /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. When you start as user it might use /home/frank/.xinitrc.
