Thanks. I did that and everything seemed to go okay.
Next I decided to update all my packages (because that's what fink
selfupdate tells you to do at the end of its spew). I ran fink update-all
and saw the following:
$ sudo fink update-all
Scanning package description files..........
Information about 2360 packages read in 1 seconds.
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:
(1) xfree86: Free X11 implementation
(2) xorg: Free X11 implementation
(3) system-xfree86-manual-install: Manually installed X11 components
Pick one: [1]
What is the right answer if I want to use Apple's X11?

/Applications/XDarwin.app is the least of your worries.
Installing Apple's X11 over a Fink X11 setup is generally not a good
idea. You're going to need to flush your X11 installation via the
command at the beginning of:
http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#special-x11-debug
Also run "sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11Update2006.pkg"
Then go ahead and reinstall X11User.pkg. You'll want X11SDK.pkg from
the Xcode Tools if you plan on doing any compiling of X11-based programs.
Unfortunately, almost everything that you've -built- with Fink that uses
X11 will require rebuilding because of non-backwards-compatibility in
the libraries from Fink's xfree86 packages. Packages that were
installed via the binary distribution will be OK, as these were built
on a system with Apple's X11 installed.
