This is actually about getting X11.app to inherit the BASH environment  
rather than the "vanilla" OSX environment.  If you want to get it to  
inherit the tcsh environment, you'd need to change that script to be  
something like:

$!/bin/tcsh

source /path/to/something

`dirname $0`/X11.bin ##something to do with $argv maybe... /shrug##`
