On Leopard, this can have the opposite effect, because there
X11 starts 
itself inside a bash login shell, and bash invoked as a
login shell does 
not read ~/.bashrc (unless you do some cross calling between
startup 
scripts).

That's useful information.

I forgot to mention that I do cross-call, using
.bash_profile to  
source .bashrc .
