I have a strange curiosity as to why I must run this script again when run the first time after leopard ver 6.6.0.
Here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
#invoke a X program using X windows
# first kill any X running by me
p_found=`ps ax|grep -v grep|grep X|wc -l`
if [ $p_found -gt 0 ]
then
killall X
#open -a -n x11.app
fi
p_found=`ps ax|grep -v grep|grep quartz-wm|wc -l`
if [ $p_found -gt 0 ]
then
killall quartz-wm
fi
doit=0
case "$1"
in
        1) export program=fluxbox
                doit=1;;
        2) export program=fvwm
                doit=1;;
        f) export program=fvwm2
                doit=1;;
        3) export program=gnome
                doit=1;;
        4) export program=icewm
                doit=1;;
        5) export program=kde3
                doit=1;;
        6) export program=kde4
                doit=1;;
        7) export program=ratpoison
                doit=1;;
        8) export program=wmaker
                doit=1;;
        9) export program=xfce4
                doit=1;;
        a) export program=amiga
                doit=1;;
        o) export program=openbox
                doit=1;;
        g) export program=ognome
                doit=1;;
        k) export program=okde
                doit=1;;
        c) export program=ctwm
                doit=1;;
        d) export program=dwm
                doit=1;;
        e) export program=evilwm
                doit=1;;
        p) export program=pwm
                doit=1;;
        v) export program=vtwm
                doit=1;;
esac
if [ "$doit" -eq 1 ]
then
        sleep 20 seconds
        open -a /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
fi

This script will run on a second execution, but when run after the imac is initial started, it will start X11.app but not
start the intended window manager from the selection chosen.
Can someone tell me why?
