Hi,
I have been following the Dang .xinitrc thread of and would really like
to find your wrapper script that you put on the mailing list but have
been unable to locate it.
The idea of the wrapper script is to
1. rename the executable
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 to something else, for
example by adding a .bin suffix.
2. writing a shell script that is called
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
is executable, and contains basically
#!/bin/tcsh
#setup your environment by executing some tcsh startup scripts,
#for example
source /etc/csh.login
source /etc/csh.cshrc
#start the X server, maybe with options concerning the keymapping
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
Clicking on the X11 icon then starts the wrapper script and this in turn
starts the X server.
You can define here the environment that your applications in X11's
Applications menu will need, but this is not the place for xmodmap or X
resources definitions. These will have to go into your .xinitrc which is
read after X11.app has started.
Concerning emacs and Cmd-x as M-x: I noticed that this works for me in
an rxvt window, but not in an xterm window. Don't know why.
