I added the -ls option to xterm in my ~/.xinitrc (the other stuff relating to xterm is handled in my ~/.Xdefaults file), and that does what I want regarding the PATH. I also had "rxvt -fn font1 -sr -fg green -bg black -geometry 80x24+0+365 &" in my .xinitrc file, and adding the -ls option worked there, also. >The best option, however, if you don't need to run the xterm on a remote >machine is, IMHO: > >4. Do not run xterm at all. You can do anything you do with an xterm >(except run it remotely) with the much more ergonomic Terminal.app window. Well, I have other X11 programs that call xterm for various tasks; that's why I wanted the PATH straightened out.
