This is extremely helpful advice! Perhaps this advice (and some of the preceding philosophical discussion, which I snipped) can somehow be incorporated into the X11 documentation on the fink website? Thanks again to our regular contributors (i.e. Martin Costabel, Alexander Hansen, and Ranger) who protect us from ourselves :)
What you can do is, for exmple:
1. Create a ~/.xinitrc file containing three lines like
source /sw/bin/init.sh xterm -ls -sb -sl 2000 -rightbar -fn 6x13 & exec quartz-wm
or 2. Create a ~/.xinitrc file like in 1., but without the second line. Forget about xterm and use Terminal.app windows instead. If you export DISPLAY=:0 you can start any X11 program from the command line in your Terminal.app window, and you have a much better environment than in xterm. You can even start an xterm from the command line if you need one, and it will inherit your PATH variable from your Terminal.app environment.
