can't comment. I haven't done a CD install in a looong time.

OK. That's what happened! I added a new user ("me") before I did the desktop
configuration. So, you're saying that it adds a "dot.xinitrc" file in
/usr/shar/skel which would be copied to all created accounts?
Perhaps something could be added to sysinstall so that the "dot.*" files
aren't copied to user accounts until a) after a desktop configuration, or b)
sysinstall exits. Or, perhaps safer, if you do a desktop configuration recopy
all the dot.* files to all user accounts that were created during that
sysinstall session. Seems that would fix the problem ...

Indeed. However, as we were talking about this morning in -qa, is a better
spot for these variables /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/profile?
