<snip> Separate messages for separate issues, please. What I’m not seeing there is /opt/X11/bin/quartz-wm. If quartz-wm isn’t running that would lead to pinned windows with no decorations. Check if that is running The places to check for issues would be $HOME/.xinitrc $HOME/.xinitrc.d/*.sh /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*.sh And if you’re using fink’s xinitrc, any of the various scripts that are called by /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. I’m guessing the issue is something in your home directory though. Try creating a new user account and see if it has the same X11 issues. If that account has problems, then the next thing to do is either to reinstall XQuartz without removing the prior version or to restore a stock /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc from one of the backups that FInk’s xinitrc installation generated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list Fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
