I'm using Tiger, but got some files from a Jaguar user, which really confused me. Fink must have added the .profile file, as I see it on this Tiger system and the test -r line is all that is in it, but copying it to .xinitrc does absolutely nothing? ***WAIT, INSTANT UPDATE!*** ...it did nothing until I moved the command to the beginning of the .xinitrc file (after the shell declaration, that is). I guess that I need to check the other entries to see if they kill the .xinitrc (is that possible), or maybe after kicking-off apps it's too late to use the test -r line?
I'd still like to find: 1) A "best practice" way to make Terminal $PATH == X11 $PATH at all times (given the limited changes, this is happening right now, which is good enough). 2) X-apps launch without asking me to click the mouse (it does this when I launch them with a -geometry parameter setting!)
