Sorry, I should have said that I already use /sw/bin/init.sh just 
fine. In fact, I have no problems running fink software from a 
Terminal window, and XDarwin starts just fine from there. I assumed 
that there is something lacking in the environment that I get from 
the LoginWindow. I can run start -- -quartz from a terminal and it 
runs just fine, it just won't run if I double click on XDarwin, or 
as a Login item if my shell is /sw/bin/bash, rather than /bin/tcsh 
or /bin/zsh.

My XDarwin is a binary install, not fink.
