Is there a good way for me to pass my ENV to whatever is launched by ~/.xinitrc.d/99-wm.sh, without passing the ENV to every single launchd process?

Yes.

echo ". ~/.profile" > ~/.xinitrc.d/00-env.sh echo "cd $HOME" >> ~/.xinitrc.d/00-env.sh chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/00-env.sh

That solved everything. Thanks! On unix I always did this, but I never did it on MacOS. It wasn't intuitive that xinit would pass a different ENV than launchd. I suspect this will fix Peter's problem as well. -Dave
