rpm -q -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc works, but does not fix the problem.
I didn't go off on a tangent as much as a typo. In any event, is there
is bug-free way to do the Xfree86 installation from scratch? Getting
this to work by some patch is simply a poor solution to an installation bug.
Also note, I entered kde in one of the terminal windows to force it to
start. I get an error message "could not start kstartupconfig. Check
your installation." So I gather the Xfree86 installation caused this
problem since the KDE enviroment was working fine until I installed xfree86.

Yes, it would be a SuSe rpm.
Well, I managed to find xinetd-2.3.14-32.x86_64.rpm. I had to use the
--replacefiles and --replacepkgs options to force the install. The
problem is the same.
Sigh. How people can go on tangents like this will always amaze me.
(xinetd has nothing at all to do with X.)
The package you should reinstall is given by ...
rpm -q -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
... or ...
rpm -q -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
... whichever file exists.
