Thanks for informing me about ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist; I must admit this
detail of Apple's X11 implementation caused me some confusion before. And yes, I
would like to migrate to GNU Emacs under X11 some day simply for the sake of image
support. I prefer running Emacs as a full-screen application (since I seem to
spend more and more of my time in it to the exclusion of all other software), and
as far as I know the only way to do this is a either through X11 with a window
manager like Rat Poison, or using the console version of Emacs (I'm using the
latest Macports version) in a terminal emulator like iTerm which has full screen
support. I've chosen the latter for the time being, since I have not figured out
how to get anti-aliased fonts working in Emacs running under X11.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
