Really? Granted, I'm running an old version (Xquartz 2.2.1), but it sure
doesn't look like sourcing the system xinitrc will make things better.
Yes, it'll run xrdb, but on my systems, the system xinitrc at the path
above ends with
twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
I don't want *any* of that stuff to run! Are these lines still present in
release 2.3.1?
Of course, this begs the question of whether my initialization setup is
somehow broken. Rather than create an .xinitrc, I instead used the
`default' command to set the app_to_run preference, as suggested on
<http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ>. Yes, I have to run
xrdb in the script I run via that preference, but otherwise it works fine
for me. (I'm perfectly happy with the built-in quartz window manager.)
And yes, I know 2.3.1 is out, but I don't want to upgrade just yet because
2.2.1 works fine for me, and I don't want to take on the risk of a broken
upgrade right now. Once I finish my dissertation, I'll have more time on
my hands, so I'll be able to do any required troubleshooting.
Richard
