Hi

Is there a way of making XDarwin (or any other X11 server) start together with Aqua at every boot? Perhaps I can change the inittab files/rc-scripts to do this? I have an AppleScript file which does the trick, but I do not know where to put it since I find no autostart folder on my system. Also, it would be better to do it in inittab.

Any experience on this?

Best Wishes,
Johan Glimming

  XDarwin is an application that is intended to be run in the context of a particular user's login session. Since login and user initialization is handled by native Mac OS X facilities, there is not really any reason or way to have XDarwin running all the time unless you want to shut down Core Graphics and use only XDarwin. This is true with all X servers on Mac OS X.
  
  Generally the best way to accomplish what you want is by having each user's login item's preferences set to start XDarwin. Is there some reason that this does not suit your needs.
