I'd dearly love to know which configuration startup file does what, where it's located, what it's named, and what parameters are available, but I haven't found that in print or online. --- end of quote --- I certainly agree with this, and the fact that the os is changing really fast too, so nothing is likely to be completely up to date. I've been considering the Missing Manual book which is updated for 10.2. I haven't seen it in person, but I like the Missing Manual for iMovie. It is comprehensive, friendly and clever. It solved a number of problems for me very quickly. Pogue does a good job. So that might be a good place to start in trying to understand X.
