I have installed the kdebase3 and all that is required to run it but i am having
trouble launching it with apple's X11. Since I use panther I know its my only
choice and I have read the faq but your directions on it are confusing me. THe
faq states:

A: Apple X11 doesn't keep track of the Fink environment settings, which means
that the Applications menu doesn't have the PATH set correctly to find your Fink
applications. The solution is to preface the name of a Fink-installed
application with

source /sw/bin/init.sh ;

For example, if you want to run a Fink-installed GIMP, then put

source /sw/bin/init.sh ; gimp

in the Command field of your GIMP entry.

You can also edit your .xinitrc file (in your user directory) and add:

source /sw/bin/init.sh

after the first line.

I tried searching for the .xinitrc file in the finder and came up empty handed.
Also what user directory are you referring to? I would have tried the other way
 but im not sure where the command field of an installed application would be
and what I would use to edit it. Forgive my newbishness and thanx in advance for
the help :)
