[Xquartz-dev] High CPU load on Mac OS X 10.4

[Merle Reinhart]

X11 is now running in the context of a login shell and will execute  
your local login scripts.  Could something in the login scripts be  
causing this (that could explain why it occurs for some and not others  
and on Tiger and Leopard)?

I know I get errors in the Console/System logs when X11 starts due to  
errors it runs into in my login scripts (but not when I open a session  
in Terminal or xterm).  They seem benign so I ignore them, but some  
things may not be benign and might cause this effect.

Anyway, a thought...

Merle
