X11 and multiple user accounts.


  • Subject: X11 and multiple user accounts.

I am the primary user of this Mac, but I have also set up a non-admin guest account for anyone who might be covering my desk. I use xterm, emulating a Wyse 60 terminal, to talk to our mainframe (haven't figured out yet how to get Terminal.app to do it, if it can at all, but that's another story.)

I have noticed, since updating my x11 installation, that once one account has used x11 and logs out, another user cannot use it without restarting the computer first. If it is attempted, the x11 application will not start. The icon will bounce and die.

Each account has its own .xinitrc file.

This was working properly in my initial x11 installation, and I vaguely recall there having been an earlier thread on something like this, regarding the update.

Thanks in advance.
