Hi,
# start some nice programs
#xterm &
xterm -sb -sl 10000 -geometry 75x50-0+0 -bg darkolivegreen -fg khaki &
xterm -sb -sl 10000 -geometry 75x50+45+5 -bg darkslateblue -fg ivory &
Is the global xinitrc file squirreled away in a different location now?
What is the best way to configure X11 to both eliminate the default
xterm and bring up my 2 custom xterms?
Can I suggest you think about inverting your logic here. Before Leopard,
X11 had to be started by hand, with is what the 'X11' icon did. Now,
with leopard X11 is actually started automatically whenever it is
needed. ( In fact this explains the little white xterm you get when you
run 'X11', since this this actually running xterm, with the side effect
that X11 is started (if not already running). In many ways in leopard
X11 could be renamed xterm. )
So if I where you I would take advantage of this new scheme. Just write
a simple script which startes your two xterms. When you run this X11
will be started automatically.
Chris
