Your Apple X11 problem sounds like the window manager wasn't getting run. This frequently happens because Apple X11 doesn't respect your PATH. See the notes under http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/inst-xfree86.php#apple-binary

Hi all! Just new to the list and, obviously, to fink. I came to fink
because I wanted to run pySoulseek, and I figured that was a good excuse
to take the plunge, since I'd probably want to use fink to install stuff
like the GIMP later anyway.


So, after a lot of confusion and mucking around, I got pyslsk-1.2.3
installed on my Powerbook (still can't work out how to get 1.2.4 installed
- any ideas?).


I can run pyslsk in Apple's X11 fine, but it refuses to run in a proper
window, so I can't move it around and it doesn't have the menus I need for
setup, connect/disconnect, etc.


I worked around this by installing xDarwin and OroborOSX, which has
built-in 'interleaving' of windows, something which seems to fix the
problem for me - I now have pyslsk running as I want it to.

My question, though, is this: surely I could have fixed the problem in
Apple's X11? How might I go about that? It might be handy for future
reference.

Thanks for your help,
Sam
