Hasn't this strategy been discussed as a bad idea elsewhere on this list?
In particular, doesn't it prevent the system xinitrc from running and
setting up potentially necessary services?
I suppose I could go back to my previous system, which was to have a shell
script that
- loads xresources
- sets some xset parameters
- starts an xterm
and use that shell script as the app_to_run setting in the XQuartz
preferences.
But the system with .xinitrc.d and .Xresources appears to be officially
sanctioned as The Right Way (although I haven't really seen much in the way
of an argument to support that position), so I figured I'd try it.
