Re: Tiger X11 profile Question

This is a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've cobbled and manipulated my stuff so much that I don't know the 4.0 answer anymore. I am trying to setup X11 on my wife's iMac. I setup some PATH and other stuff in a ".bash_profile" file, but it doesn't seem to get read when a new xterm window is opened in X11. I tried putting it in ".profile" with the same poor results. Where can I put these custom statements so they'll be initialized every time I open an X11 session, XTerm within X11, Terminal, and everything else.


-- Chip


1. start X11
2. on the X11 menubar (top of screen) choose applications
3. choose customise
4. In terminal application menu you should see a line: Terminal    xterm
5. click to edit and add -ls so it reads
Terminal xterm -ls
6 click Done
7. that will make xterm read ~/.profile when it opens.
8. ~/.xinitrc is the file X11 itself reads when it starts so you can place values there
