Yes that might explain it. The wm binary I launch in ~/.xinit.d/99-wm.sh is not the actual window manager, it invokes the wm, possibly through xinit. I wonder, would this also explain why an xterm launched from ~/.xinitrc.d/99-wm.sh (with no window manager) does not have the expected ENV? The missing ENV in that xterm correlates with the WM issues. When I add ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, or /etc/launchd.conf, the problem goes away for whatever I am running in ~/.xinitrc.d/99-wm.sh, whether it be that xterm or a WM. Is there a good way for me to pass my ENV to whatever is launched by ~/.xinitrc.d/99-wm.sh, without passing the ENV to every single launchd process?
