This was a huge help. I followed both links, downloaded the
Xquartz-1.2a7.bz2 file, printed off the directions and proceeded to (from a
Terminal window):

I did the same thing yesterday, it fixed 99.5% of my my X11/xterm
problems. =) My only nit is that now when I start X11.app, the *first*
xterm is the X11 defaults, but then every new one after that, started
with cmd-n, is using my defaults.  I might try the ~/Xterm setting next
and see if that catches it.

It probably will. There's a known issue that has no good solution -- your xinitrc will not get executed before whatever application starts X11.app executes. This is because the server is the one that executes it, and by the time that happens, the first client has already started it. I'd love to fix it, but I don't know how.

Sadly, it didn't.  Oh well, guess I'll live with the first white
xterm for now. =)

MANY, MANY thanks to Ben, et.al for their major improvement to the
Leopard X11 usability.  Keep up the great work!

Indeed, thank you very much for your hard work.

I'm glad I can help. :) I took this project on because I came to Apple with absolutely no OS X experience -- but about 10+ years of Linux experience, so I do actually care about making this work right. I just hope that those who are able to will contribute patches -- as Jordan said a few days ago (or at least implied), the intent here was to try to facilitate more community involvement in development.

I am glad to see that Apple is involving the community.  Keep up the great work.
