It looks like startx is stalling out in your ~/.bashrc or something... can you try debugging that.
I am a tcsh usr. Renaming .login and .cshrc (and .bashrc) now brings:
Uhm, you can't just rename them. They have differnet syntax. Please just delete your .bashrc .profile .bash_profile if that's really what you did.

Yeah, wth is up with that? That is definitely something wonkey with your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc ... Just delete them or move them away for now.
The X11.app icon in Dock is inoperable (Dock has not noticed it's running). When I launch X11 from the Dock, the icon leaps up and down for a minute. When it has finished, the menu contains the message that the app does not respond. This behaviour is independent whether the shell RC files are there or not.
By launching Xquartz from the command line X11.app is not animated.
Yeah, this is all because of your startup files. Please remove them for now and debug what is wrong with them later (or paste them here, and I'll tell you what's wrong).
