X11 in Leopard, prefs gone, X11's Applications menu broken

Much to my dismay after upgrading to 10.5, I found that X11 had wiped out my prefs file.

Worse, when I tried to recreate it, I found that the most basic of things don't seem to work. For example:


Defining "Terminal2" to be "xterm -bg black -fg white" never brings up a terminal, and yields the following in the system log:


cinnabar.ny.zeitgeist.com % su
Password:
sh-3.2# tail -f /var/log/system.log
Oct 30 12:49:36 cinnabar login[16503]: USER_PROCESS: 16503 tty??
Oct 30 12:49:36 cinnabar login[16503]: DEAD_PROCESS: 16503 tty??
Oct 30 12:49:36 cinnabar org.x.X11[16435]: login: xterm -bg black -fg white: No such file or directory
^C

cinnabar.ny.zeitgeist.com % which xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm

(I have /usr/X11R6/bin in my path, but the 10.5 X11 install seems to have a link, and uses it's own internal path)

yet, run from the command line it works perfectly.


Any clue what's up...?

regards,
  David Spector
