Well, I upgraded to Jaguar, and my PATH has lost all reference to
/sw/bin and all that. I have tried and tried to set up .xinitrc in my
home directory (and modified any other one I can find anywhere) but
nothing does the trick. If it matters, I was on XDarwin and Orboro
with 10.1, and I deleted them after I got Apple's X11. Any ideas what
I can do?
Also, as an unrelated question - now that OSX allows usernames with >8
characters, I want to change my base account's username to match that
of all my other accounts for reasons of obvious convenience. Is there
any way to do that without building a whole new user profile and
setting it all up again?
Tanks,

Hello Alden,
Check the archives -- there are a lot notes about the changes to tcsh's
startup in jaguar.
As to the user name change, I did just that, but I didn't take notes,
so here is the basics:
Change the user name in NetInfo Manager.
Change the home dir in /Users
Change the personal web sharing file in /etc/httpd/users
Change the keychain name in the user's home dir (the keychain may
invalidate some things on its own)
Clean out /Library/Caches (perhaps others) as the username is embedded
in some caches there.
There may be more, but that's all I can remember offhand.
HTH,
David
