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!)

Thanks,
-Matt
