I plead to you for guidance oh Arch gurus and non-gurus!
Having a very bizzare [or maybe not] problem here.
basically it's the same thing as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=108734
I chose to post my question in a new post for the reasons that the previous one is dead and the poster never received an answer. Hope that this one will though...
I decided to learn/experiment with a little C programming and I came across TinyWM: http://incise.org/tinywm.html. The problem is that I cannot start it, maybe something is wrong with my gcc compiler configuration, or maybe Xlib. After compilation, on execution of the compiled binary [./tinywm] file I receive no errors, nothing happens, it just "thinks" indefinitely.
I've tried to edit my .xinitrc by adding "exec path/to/binary/tinywm" and executing startx. The screen is black and I get the same result...
After a lot of googling apparently only me with the guy [arlekino] have this problem, which is, I agree VERY STRANGE.... obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Can someone please suggest me something?
Thank You!

omg! that's it!
thank you so much
but why adding the xterm in addition to the actual wm made also the mouse pointer appear?

You can also do something like
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
exec tinywm
