Among other things. Might want to make sure your umask is set, etc.
All the things that it's hard to do with a .login script on OS X.
Almost everyone who ran X11 previously, whether on Linux or OS X, has
developed a custom .xinitrc to get all the various "startup" things
done, and to start their particular set of X11 programs (mine is an
X11 GNU Emacs started with "-f shell"). So we were surprised when
things we hadn't ordered popped up.
And people who hadn't run X11 previously aren't running it on Leopard,
either.

So you're thinking the cut-and-paste manager will live in a thread in
the server? Neat idea. I'll take a look. I'd really love to get GNU
Emacs cut-and-paste working with the Apple clipboard.
