.xinitrc not fully executing

Hi all.
In my .xinitrc I have this:
xhost athene
xhost aquarius
exec xiterm -geometry 80x24+0+22 -sl 300 -fg #00FF00 -bg #000000 +vb &
exec xiterm -geometry 80x24+148+229 -sl 300 -fg #00FF00 -bg #000000 +vb &
exec xautolock -time 3 -corners +00- -cornerdelay 3 -locker 'xlock -nolock
-mode random' &
exec afterstep
The problem is that not all of the lines are working. Both xhost commands
run, and xautolock loads, and afterstep starts too. But the two xiterms just
will not load. I can type xiterm from an xiterm once AS has started and
another will load just fine. It is in my path and it works just fine, but it
doesn't load out of my .xinitrc. I use this at home as well, but it works
fine there and it is the same version (1.4.5.55N). Any ideas?
Also, how can I get bold colors in xiterm? My normal colors are bright-green
on black, but normally the bold colors are done with the bright ANSI colors.
Therefore, bright-green stuff looks like my ordinary text. When compiling
xiterm I commented out the line to USE_BRIGHTCOLOR or something like that.
But it seems to behave just the same. Must I explicitly load a bold font for
it to use? I would like it to do the overstrike like xterm does and that line
is commented so it should work. Does that have to be explicitly turned on?
Many thanks!
