Yes, I've noticed that quartz-wm seems to redefine the environment,
at least for programs run via the X11 Applications menu. I have
XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/.app-defaults
export XAPPLRESDIR
in my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, so that quartz-wm gets this
environment variable, but it isn't taken into account for the
Applications programs it launches. I use the following workaround.
I've written a script x11-wrapper containing:
#!/opt/local/bin/zsh
exec "$@"
This has the effect to read the environment variables I set up
in my .zshenv file, in particular XAPPLRESDIR. And in the
$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.x11.plist file, I have:
<array>
<string>xterm</string>
<string>x11-wrapper xterm -e zsh</string>
<string>t</string>
</array>
<array>
<string>uxterm</string>
<string>x11-wrapper uxterm -e zsh</string>
<string>u</string>
</array>
