To reiterate, I am starting up X11 with only an xterm and no window manager. I am typing 'env' in that xterm. This where I'm seeing ENV being different from terminals opened normally. This is the only way I can capture the difference in what env is being passed to X11 versus other shells at the terminal.
What if you add the following to the X11 Applications menu: Name: Environment Command: /usr/bin/env > /tmp/xenv and select the command 'Environment' from the menu? What do the contents show in /tmp/xenv? Wouldn't that give you the environment that the xserver uses (rather than any environment created for an xterm child process)? -- rdr
