When fink installed it created the .profile for me. There is no .bash_profile on my system.
I can't answer this one; someone with more in-depth understanding of the install mechanism may know.
So, I should create .bash_profile and put /sw/bin/init.sh in it? That's all that's in the .profile
That should do it.
You may want to eye-ball the man page (for 'bash') to get an idea of what startup scripts are checked when. It's a bit on the gnarly side, and if you don't have a deep love of this kind of nit-pickery, it may be more trouble than its worth.
And why do qcad and xinvaders launch as is, but gimp and abiword don't?
Don't use any of the above, so I can't offer a clue.

Justin
