The GNU Emacsen I launch from ~/.xinitrc or XTerm have their working directory in / while XTerm's shell sets it to ~.

When I launch GNU Emacs from the Applications menu its working directory is ~.

Could you file a bug report for this at https://github.com/XQuartz/XQuartz/issues/new

It should be a simple fix to add a 'cd ~' to the startx script to ensure this is consistent. We do that in XQuartz.app's startup script, but should probably do the same for startx.

Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.
