After I installed the latest version of X11, when I launch X11 all I get is an Xterm window, nothing else. When I installed X11 on my iMac and launched it, I had Xterm windows along with all of the other apps that come with X11.

Why do I not see the same thing on my G4? I tried deleting the X11 app, as well as the X11r6 folder from the USR folder, and reinstalled X11. Still the same thing. Only one xterm window and that's it.

I even deleted my .xsession and .xinitrc files to no avail as well as the X11 folder located in the ETC folder.

Any ieas what I should do?

How about typing the name of the X-windows app (if problematic with path) in the terminal and hit enter?

rmcellig,

You are talking about Apple's "X11", right?


Read the "X11: Frequently Asked Questions" thread:

6. Opening Applications in Xterm and X11's Application launcher

or to start other applications at launch when you double-click the X11.app, you can create a ~/.xinitrc file in your home directory, read:

7. The .xinitrc file
