When I start X11 by double-clicking on its icon (actually, by its
representative in the Dock), the commands in my ~/.xinitrc file are
executed.
I know this is true, because I have changed window managers, and that
is where the window manager is specified. Also, I have done things
like change how many xterm windows are started, or their options
(such as color).
Would you be willing to try such a test yourself?

Basically, this is what I am seeing:
When I launch X11.app from the GUI (either in recent items or
directly from Applications->Utilities) my ~/.xinitrc is not loaded.
I confirm this by checking my $PATH variable which should be
modified by the ". $HOME/ .bash_profile" inclusion.
When I launch X11.app from the terminal by typing "open
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app", my ~/.xinitrc IS loaded and my
$PATH variable is set correctly.
I have deleted the X11.app prefs so that at launch I am prompted to
use the standard environment instead of my .xinitrc. I say no, to
keep my .xinitrc file but it doesn't seem to matter.
I also found in an old FAQ that mentions something about a plist
needing to be set up in ~/.MacOSX, except that directory does not
exist in my home dir. I am running 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro.
Any Ideas?
