So, don't worry about having to delete anything at this point. What you need from Fink is call "system-xfree86". This tells Fink that xfree86 has been installed and where to find it (I believe). Because you encountered an error during installation of xfree86, nothing really is installed. What you have downloaded was probably the tar files and the dependencies (some of which you might need for bluefish). Some of the dependencies might have been installed, but none is harmful. Did you also install the required SDK package from Apple? You need that in order for Apple X11 to work. I feel that Apple X11 is much faster than the standard xfree86 because of the implementation of quartz-extreme. I think that it's worth the change from the standard xfree86 to Apple's X11. Good luck.
