What do you see in the log when you put an 'echo $PATH >&2' at the top
of /usr/X11/bin/startx?
After I sanitized my own environment (moving ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc
out of the way), I got:
2008.01.08 15:04:37 aerith org.x.X11[1768] org.x.X11 1768
com.apple.console Notice /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Developer/
Tools:/usr/local/kde/4/bin:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4/bin:/opt/local/
bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/
X11/bin:/Applications/Pixar/RenderMan.app/Versions/
RenderManProServer-13.0.2G4/bin
I am certain that /usr/X11/bin is only getting added to my path via /
etc/profile's:
if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi
What happens if you do this on your own from Terminal.app:
$ unset PATH
$ /bin/bash --login /usr/X11/bin/startx
Doing that, I STILL get X to start and the proper path displayed at
the top. It seems that somehow your '/bin/bash --login' might not be
setting up your environment right. Can you tell me what you get when
you do:
$ unset PATH
$ /bin/bash --login
subshell $ echo $PATH

2.1.2 is broken for me, too. in the console log, I am seeing a lot of
<Notice>: /usr/X11/bin/startx: line 168: xauth: command not found
Maybe you need to define a PATH containing /usr/X11/bin inside the
startx script?
Indeed, if I add a line
export PATH=/usr/X11/bin:$PATH
at the beginning of /usr/X11/bin/startx, the automatic startup works.
