In the PDF file "Mini howto Installing OpenOffice.org 2 (X11
Version) for Mac OS X", page 6, there is a section 1.6 "How to get
rid of the Xterm that starts without asking ?". This will obviously
be of interest to many users, as the xterm really is unneccessary if
one only wishes to use the Open Office applications.
The command that is suggested to use is:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
However, this assumes that the user actually has the text editor
"nano" installed. Not a valid assumption. "pico" is a standard
installation, but "nano" is a GNU improvement to "pico" that not
everybody has. A naive user who simply uses the suggested command
will get an error due to "nano" not being present. I would recommend
changing the command to something more universally usable, which
means using "pico" as the text editor. It should also be explained
that this command involves editing a text file, as many Mac users
will not have used Unix command lines, text editors (whether pico or
nano), etc.
