Ah so, yes, of course...fink rebuild or fink reinstall. I am building up the
courage to uninstall XQuartz 2.7.5 and try 2.7.7 again, this time doing the
fink rebuild of xinitrc after installing 2.7.7...maybe that will do the trick.
So do I have the order correct? First uninstall 2.7.5, then install 2.7.7, then
fink rebuild xinitrc? Anything else I might be missing?

I see that /sw/share/xinitrc has the script sys-xinitrc-fink in it. As I
mentioned, at one point, I removed fink's xinitrc package and all its
dependencies, then reinstalled it. XQuartz 2.2.7 seemed to work after
this...until I rebooted. This file wasn't touched by any of this, and still has
the date July 4 (I am not sure what happened that day, perhaps I selfupdated
fink?). And, there are these comments in the file:
# This script works even after the Fink "xinitrc" package is removed.
# Don't worry.
which probably explain its persistence. Does this script get executed at
startup? No, I see it is not executable, so what it is there for?
I did a "fink update xinitrc" which returns with "No packages to install".
Does anything change by updating this package?
No, because there’s no new version. You’d want to use “fink rebuild xinitrc”
or “fink reinstall xinitrc”.
