[SOLVED]Can't launch program after xorg starts

Normally I execute things on startup with xinitrc.  However, there's a program that I'm trying to run, which does not seem to want to work.  However, if I run it from a terminal window, it works just fine.  Is there a fix for this?  Can I open a terminal and then have it execute the binary?

Fixed it.  There's a problem with the actual binary.

Which binary? Could your fix be of use to others?

Doubtful.  It's a proprietary FE for another proprietary console based binary.  What was happening was that it was dying and taking X with it, but switching to icewm fixed the problem.
