OTOH, when Fink installed the new xinitrc package, it asked you very
explicitly whether you wanted to let it replace the system xinitrc
by an augmented one that adds some additional hooks. Did you just
reply "yes" automatically?
No, I thought carefully, and that is precisely why I have brought up
this problem here. There seems to be no good answer to this question:
- yes risks breaking part of the OS - clearly a bad idea
- no presumably means that some fink installed stuff wont work
correctly (or else why would they be replacing this file?)
I thus reluctantly said yes, as perhaps the worst of the two options
offered.
As my previous email surely should have told you, I would rather NOT
have to make such a choice with no good answer.
Best wishes
