I thought the X11 PATH stuff gets set in init.(c)sh

There is an issue with Apple X11, but I don't think we can fix it here: 
Apple X11 doesn't honor the fink environment, and you have to add
"source /sw/bin/init.sh" to .xinitrc in order to run fink-installed
applications, e.g. a window manager.  Similarly, for fink-installed
applications to be run correctly from the Applications menu, they must
be of the form:

source /sw/bin/init.sh ; foo
