I am not using MacPorts or Fink. I have never needed to. 
My apps are installed in /usr/local and I have never noticed a problem.
If MacPorts or Fink are making "corrections" to fix this problem, I want to learn how to replicate those fixes in a non-MacPorts environment, and document it.
I am not attached in any way to the Apple /etc/profile. I just never knew there was an problem with it (and still not convinced there is.)
MacPorts and Fink are not required to use XQuartz.
I am trying to keep changes to the bare minimum needed.
