Oh dear, I lied :-( It is init.sh, not init.csh! The .xinitrc file is read by a shell of the sh variety, independently of the user's favorite shell.
The above were recommended lines to include in a .xinitrc file, in this case for a fink user having problems initiating a gnome session. I have the (same) source line in my .cshrc file, not in my .xinitrc file.
My questions:
1) Is it better to source the shell in one .*rc file rather than the other?
You need both, they are executed in different situations. .cshrc is read when your command line shell starts, .xinitrc is read when X11 starts.
