I wish we had a comprehensive FAQ
culled from the answers we've generated for each other

Where is the global X11 config file? It seems to completely ignore
/private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Anyone know?
follow the instructions on this page
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html
use the plist you'll create to set your path
and this will "magically" solve most of your Apple X11 problems.
here, let me save you some time...
this file should be ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"

let me recommend some rc settings (I use BASH, so adjust as necessary):
