After double clicking X11 it quits after a while. The console's log file tells me teh following: X11.app: main(): argc=1 argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC. X11.app: No launchd socket handed off, unsetting DISPLAY X11.app: do_start_x11_server(): argc=5 argv[0] = /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz argv[1] = :0 argv[2] = -listen argv[3] = tcp argv[4] = -iglx [1748581.963] Xquartz starting: [1748581.963] X.Org X Server 1.18.4 [1748581.963] Build Date: 20161025 [1748581.968] x: 0, y: 0, w: 1920, h: 1200 [1748581.987] (II) GLX: Initialized Core OpenGL GL provider for screen 0 [1748582.139] X11.app: DarwinProcessFDAdditionQueue_thread: Sleeping to allow xinitrc to catchup.

That should be non-fatal. We expect to not load a keymap.
It looks like everything is behaving correctly from the perspective of the log you provided. If you're seeing XQuartz quit soon after launch, the issue could be that you have a ~/.xinitrc file getting in the way of things.
How can I resolve the ~/.xinitrc issue or check if it is the problem?
Just delete it if it exists. You can ask for help on the xorg or x11-users mailing lists.
