I didn't customize X11 startup (as far as I know, anyway…I actually wouldn't
know how to begin), so I assume I have the default. I do have fink's xinitrc
package installed:
quaternion:~ Mike$ fink list xinitrcInformation about 10041 packages read in 1
seconds. i xinitrc 1.5-2 X11 initialization script handler
Before installation of new Xquartz I had a .xinitrc file, but I moved it out of
the way to .xinitrc~ for some reason (can't remember why) about three weeks ago
(the new Xquartz was installed yesterday morning). A new .xinitrc one was not
created at installation of Xquartz. The old .xinitrc file has only one line in
it: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources . Maybe I need to restore it?
Don't know if that helps you much.
