Okay, I had to force-remove system-xfree because other things like autocutsel depended on X11. The system-xfree package, then, *is* the non-fink one that I don't reinstall later, right? I simply don't need it?5) So, I need to move (or delete, or uninstall?) some stuff out of the way, and maybe force-remove system-xfree86 before Fink will let me reinstall the correct packages, is that right?Yes--the force-remove is only if you have other packages that depend on X11.
I didn't understand that before. I thought Fink simply would not know about the other install and I would have to do everything manually. Fink Commander is really smart in this regard and I appreciate it even more now. Thanks developers!
At the advice of Fink Commander, I simply removed (sudo rm -r) /usr/X11R6 and also /etc/X11.Just rename them to something that is unrecognized: in the case of /usr/X11R6 this simultaneously removes the files from the search path. You could try the installer, but I don't think it's necessary.
Then FC politely installed the -base and -rootless packages as advertised. :0)
So my XFree86 install looks complete and up to date, and I do not need system-xfree86.
But now, XDarwin crashes immediately upon launch, with the following spewing to xinit.crash.log:

Not quite out of the woods yet. Maybe I just need to restart the computer or reset something?
