X11.app inherits its path from your default shell.

This cannot be true. When I try the same as /Applications/MacPorts/ X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 does and invoke exec -l /bin/tcsh -c 'echo $path' in bash instead of exec -l /bin/tcsh -c 'exec $argv:q' /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/ Contents/MacOS/X11.bin I get: /Users/pete/bin /sw/lib/freetype219/bin /sw/lib/fontconfig2/bin /usr/ local/bin /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ universal-darwin /usr/bin /bin /usr/X11/bin /sw/bin /sw/lib/coreutils/ bin /Developer/Tools /Users/pete/bin/FDK/Tools/osx This is not the same that is seen by GNU Emacs or inside the ~/.xinitrc script. It is the path that I set. -- Greetings Pete Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. – Elbert Hubbard
