mailing list can answer.

1) I have WindowMaker running with Apple's X11, but I cannot right 
click and get wmaker's Application Menu.  Everything else in wmaker 
seems to work fine.  Has anyone else had this problem since they 
switched to Apple's X11?  X11's Application Menu works just fine, but 
there are quite a few more things on the wmaker Application Menu 
besides applications. My .xintrc file has the following:

source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec wmaker

On X11, WindowMaker crashes as soon as I touch on the bar. So, I can't 
help with this.


2) I tried to set up bash.  I downloaded Fink's bash package and 
installed it.  I then followed the directions in the README file for 
setting up config files, but I can not get the Terminal app to change 
to bash.

So, do you want to get bash to be your login shell, right? If so, the 
rigth way to go is edit your user profile with NetInfo Manger. OS X is 
very different on this shell setup.

Caveat: any modification to NetInfo can be UTTERLY FATAL. There is a 
great risk to screw up your system instantly. Beware.

Also, I can not get chsh to work from the command line either in 
Terminal.app or in xterm or rxvt when running the X11 server.

What do you mean? You can't get it to work even by typing csh?


I tried changing the Terminal preferences from executing the 
/usr/bin/login to /sw/bin/bash or /sw/bin/init.sh, but neither did 
anything but hang the Terminal.app.

Are you on 10.2.x? or 10.1.x? On 10.2.x, you have /bin/bash, /bin/zsh, 
/bin/csh = /bin/tcsh, and set your Preference to /bin/bash, etc. (But 
it seems you need to hit return in the entry of path-to-shell to get 
Terminal to recognize the change you made.)

Works fine here.

My .xinitrc

# For X11
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch'
exec xterm -geometry 80x20+34+22 -ls -sb -rightbar -si -sl 1 -j 
exec wmaker

Note the +34 and +22 for xterm origins, so that it is not hidden under 
the OSX menu bar.
For Application menu I use F12.
The dock is positioned on the left side of the screen, so that it will 
not interfere with the OSX dock which is located on the right side. It 
is a bit hidden, but you can move it without any problem. One way to do 
it is to change the parameters in the config utility in wmaker (second 
icon and change the location origin (0, 22 is just fine).

2) I tried to set up bash.

Sorry, I don't use bash
