I ran env in uxterm's in X11.app and in MacPorts' XQuartz. Clearly the latter does not read ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist or does not pass the so built environment to children processes. The uxterm has none of the environment settings set. It even has: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 which does not reflect what I have set in System Preferences. It also sets PWD and cwd to /, while in X11.app it's value is my home directory. With MacPorts I have SHLVL=3, in X11.app I have SHLVL=5. The uxterm in MacPorts has X11_PREFS_DOMAIN=org.macports.X11, in X11.app it's X11_PREFS_DOMAIN=org.x.X11 – a few things do work. -- Greetings Pete Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint. – Mark Twain
