You probably should sign up and direct this question to the fink mail list.
I'll bet you have installed xWindows without using fink. I have not done this recently as fink takes care if it better. So I would suggest referring to the fink mail list and the FAQ. The documentation is generally good. There are some items in the fink system that take care of the non-fink installs of x. I think it is system-xfree86 virtual package. Docs are at: http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/system-xfree86 Anything that is available from fink should be installed by fink. Not because it has to. But I have been using fink for year now and I learned that it is simply easier. I would remove xWindows and install it from fink using "fink install xfree86-rootless". This also allows you to have xWindows and Aqua windows side by side. Hope this helps. If you still have questions, please post the actual messages to the fink mail list. They are generally very helpful.
