5 Xtools
Xtools is a commercial X11 implementation.
5.1 Installing Xtools
Now that's easy for a change. Get the installer, double-click it, and follow the instructions. Be sure to select the startup volume when asked.
This is more or less like what you do for Apple X11.
If you're using Fink, you should install the system-xtools package after you've installed Xtools. That package will not install any files, it will just check that the libraries etc. are there and act as a placeholder in Fink's dependency system.
I believe that this is because Xtools is different enough from XFree86 that a separate placeholder package was needed.
5.2 Running Xtools
To run Xtools, double-click Xtools.app in your Applications folder. Like XFree86, Xtools will run the clients you specify in your .xinitrc file. Xtools additionally allows you to start clients via the menu.
I've never used it, but it sounds to me like Xtools basically functions like Apple's X11--you get a clickable application, and this provides a menu that you can run clients (programs) from.
All flavors of X11 let you set stuff up in a .xinitrc file.
What does this mean?
