That’s actually not so crazy. Fink’s xinitrc actually backs up a system-level xinitrc file and replaces that with its own version. When you update Xquartz you clobber Fink’s file, so you _should_ reinstall xinitrc after updating Xquartz. Unfortunately we don’t have a good way to enforce this. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison
