Hi Rich,
I think the draft of your article "X11 Tweaks" looks good.
I would suggest that you also include the following (I deal a lot with enquiries from beginners):
1- Recommend the installation of 'X11 for Mac OS X Public Beta SDK'.
2- Information on what a window manager is.
Telling people that they can use other window managers with Apple's X11 would be helpful.
Giving examples of how to call them in the ~/.xinitrc file would be great.
3- The use of the -geometry option for the placement of windows in the ~/.xinitrc file.
(a couple of examples would do)
4- The mention of Fink and FinkCommander as the easiest way to install packages in X11.
Beginners want to know from 'where' and 'how' to install packages.
The Fink database as at March 30 lists 2315 packages in 22 sections.
5- Mention some useful links, like 'Apple's X11 FAQ', the 'fink-beginners' mailing lists, 'macosxhints-forums',etc.
I hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Sao
