Since updating to X11 0.2, I now get 3 Xterms (one Login, 2 regular),
and Xclock starting with no WM.
Where is X11 getting it's startup arguments? Has this changed since
0.1? How can I return this to the one Xterm at startup? Please CC me
on replies, as I'm on digest. Thanks.
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
This is the standard startup file. It is only used if there isn't a
.xinitrc in the users home directory. X11 0.1 did not look there,
however: it always launched an xterm and the quartz-wm windows manager.
You can copy that xinit to your home directory and modify it, or
modify the system one. The bottom part, where there is twm, xclock,
... can be commented out using pound signs (#). Add the following to
the end to get the old behavior:
xterm&
exec quartz-wm
I hope Apple will ship a "corrected" xinitrc in the future. Fixing
X11.app to use the system one was really needed; however, most people
will want to run Quartz-wm by default.
