Thanks to Sean Ahern for setting me straight on this...
Apparently .xinitrc operates in a bash environment, not a csh
environment.
The first line in my ~/.xinitrc is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
That forces the script to be interpreted by the POSIX shell, not bash.
(This is also the default for X11, as well as for most OS type things.
On older systems, /bin/sh was the Bourne shell.) If you want to use
tcsh to interpret it, use the following line instead:
#!/bin/tcsh
Then you could source your ~/.cshrc file, if you desired:
source ~/.cshrc
