Any idea on how to have a complete *global* PATH variable ?
There is the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist that can be used, but it will
give the same environment variables to *all* applications which can pose
problems.
Here is another possibility, a "wrapper script". It is an evil hack, in
the category of the symlink USA.keymapping->Francais.keymapping, but it
is to be hoped that this kind of hack will not be necessary for the
final version of X11.app:
1. Rename /Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOSX/X11 to
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOSX/X11.bin
2. Write a shell script named
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOSX/X11
containing, for example
#!/bin/tcsh
source /etc/csh.login
source /etc/csh.cshrc
exec /Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
You can add something about the keymapping there, run "source
/sw/bin/init.csh" or other commands defining the environment.
Don't forget to make it executable.
3. If you don't understand any detail of the points 1. or 2., then don't
even try to do this. You are on your own here, anyway.
If you do this correctly, clicking on the X11 icon will work as before,
but X11 will come up with a complete set of environment variables.
