I have not tried with Apples X11 because I cannot get that implimentation to correctly read my xinitrc files. I backed up the default xinit and tried to alter it but no luck, and of course no with the one in my home folder either. It simple will not start any window manager except twm. I can start gnome from a terminal in Apple's X11 though.
I will not be using that implimentation unless the provide a fullscreen mode that processes xinit files. After all I thought this whole fink and X11 thing was to escape apple's BS.
But I digress.
Seriously, has any one out there got any thoughts on the problem I have with KDE.
my setup is:
G4 2X450
13 gig partition with MacOS X 10.2.3 4gig available.
640 megs of ram
The most recent release of Fink (Un related crash had this installed on a fresh os from the pkg file.)
Fink Commander, again the latest available from versiontracker.com
XDarwin 4.2.1.1 (I think thats right.) IO It's a three part install, Xinstall, XFree86 4.2.0.1
and finally XFree86_4.2.1.1
If I don't do it this way, My cursor is all screwy in XDarwin.

KDE launches and even is simi usable. However nearly every mouse click or program launch yields a Kinit crash. The backtraces always fail so I have no idea what I'm even talking about here.
Just a side note, the kde file manager launches, and when it displays the icons in the home folder it immediately crashes, again knotify gives me some error or another in kinit.
Should I just scrap the whole thing and suffer oroborus?

Responses to my query though have been quite underwhelming... Probably cause i'm using an AOL email... I hope not anyway. If any one has an idea, please, I'd love to hear it.
