Or it is exceedingly clever not to make assumptions for you. It uses a default file until you make one that is specific for your needs. This is pretty standard for X11 clients.
BTW you are posting in both plain and rich text. Makes for very long messages.

This advice is frequently given, but it is bogus. Almost everything in the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is completely superfluous in most situations. It only serves to give the false impression that this is a very complicated business. Just make a *new* file containing the important lines, like it you saidYou don't need anything else.quartz-wm --only-proxy & source /sw/bin/init.sh export KDEWM=kwin /sw/bin/startkde > tmp/kde.log 2>&1
Does this not assume that the user is in the default bash shell? I think that a tcsh user would alter the environment setting line to something like:
setenv KDEWM kwin ?
cheers.
