Yeah that's something that's been annoying me lately too. I install
X11, with its xfree86 and everything and then when I go to install
stuff with Fink it wants to install its own version of Fink and it
won't install it because Apple's X11 and xfree86 are already there and
it won't overwrite it. I finally get it going but the program I want
X11 installed for doesn't display correctly. Here's a screenshot:

The above picture has not been Photoshopped in any way. That's how it
appears when I launch it, either from an xterm or from the Applications
menu from within X11.
The program is called DCGUI-QT. I had (I got rid of it all for now) the
QT library etc installed but still no dice. There is an OS X native
build of it but it's so slow and I only use it sometimes.
Also, when I set my .xinitrc file to look for the /sw/bin path it lags
X11s launch time, many times X11 doesn't even launch without me
deleting X11's prefs, where it asks if you want to use the current
.xinitrc or use the standard Unix environment.
Short of reformatting my hard drive how can I fix this problem?
