I wonder if it would be worthwhile turning that little script into
something along the lines of
#!/bin/bash --login
if [ -x ~/.x11run ]; then
exec ~/.x11run "$(dirname $0)"/X11.bin "${@}"
else
exec "$(dirname $0)"/X11.bin "${@}"
fi
? That way, knowledgeable people with weird shells or odd
requirements can customize their X11 environment to their hearts'
content.
