After doing an upgrade to Leopard my .xinitrc file seems to be ignored
and I get an xterm at start-up.
Does anyone know a way around this other than renaming xterm?
This wouldn't actually help. If you move /usr/X11/bin/xterm away,
/Application/Utilities/X11.app will no longer do anything.
This X11.app on Leopard is in reality just a little wrapper around the
command
/usr/bin/login -fp $USER /usr/X11/bin/xterm
Starting xterm then triggers the startup of the real X11.app that sits
in /usr/X11.
Thus double-clicking X11.app (the one in /Applications/Utilities) is
basically equivalent to running the command "open-x11 xterm" in Tiger.
Your ~/.xinitrc is executed, but only after the xterm command.
On Leopard, you often don't need to start X11.app yourself. Just run a
command like xterm or start an application that needs X11, and X11 will
start up automatically.
