X11 window managers are slightly more complicated than normal apps. I recommend doing the following in a terminal window echo "source /sw/bin/init.sh" > $HOME/.xinitrc echo "quartz-wm --only-proxy &" echo "exec sawfish" >> $HOME/.xinitrc This will create a file called ".xinitrc" which resides in your user directory. X11 looks for such a file, and if it finds one, it runs the contents of it. In this case you should have source /sw/bin/init.sh quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec sawfish What each line does, in order, is: Read in Fink's environment Run the piece of Apple's X11 window manager that lets you copy and paste between X11 and the regular Mac window manager (Aqua). Run sawfish. The "exec" isn't mandatory. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk20ejwACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+o0ACgpcyP3Z+b8GUIFql8SFzJN1Vw rcgAoJ8oMTkGKmVmVPZamKzxYX2dkJmt =MPET -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fulfilling the Lean Software Promise Lean software platforms are now widely adopted and the benefits have been demonstrated beyond question.
