Hi Michele ,
I hope that helps , but I would be surprised . I am interested to
find out what you think Brandon had done or is doing incorrectly ?
First to launch X11 applications from the Terminal with Apple's X11,
the command is normally:
open-x11 myx11app
The fact to put X11.app as startup items does this.
Second, DISPLAY should be set in order to be able to launch X11
applications. Bash does not read the same file depending on the way
the shell is launched (interactive or not, login or not), putting the
DISPLAY setting in .bashrc ensures that it is set in all shells. See
bash man page, section INVOCATION.
That's not true: .bashrc is _only_ read by non-login shells. bash reads
either .bash_profile/.bash_login/.profile or .bashrc. That has led to
great confusion amongst some users, but it allows to keep settings for
login shells and subshells strictly separate. Note that this applies
only to interactive shells (which means every shell which displays a
prompt).
Third, unfortunately gimp version 2 has a launching name different
from the app name. If you have completion enabled on applications you
can view it typing gimp+tab, or just using: ls /sw/bin/gim*
