Q: Does X11.app process my ~/.xinitrc?
You may have a previous installation of X11 or XDarwin with a
pre-existing ~/.xinitrc. The first time you launch X11.app after
installation, it will ask whether to back up your existing ~/.xinitrc to
~/.xinitrc.old and use the standard /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If you reply
no, it will use your existing~/.xinitrc. If you reply yes, it will use
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (the X11 default).
If neither ~/.xinitrc or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc are present, X11 for Mac
OS X will use hard coded values that launch an xterm and the quartz-wm
window manager.
How do I modify this behaviour.
e.g. if I am using the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and do not want
now use my own .xinitrc where do I make this change?
Thanks
Gary
