Ok, well it looks like you copied the old
X11.app from /Applications/
Utilities/X11.app to ~/Applications/Utilities.
When you installed the package, it put the new one in /Applications/
Utilities.
When launchd (or you manually for that matter) runs startx to start
the server, xinit does a search (using launch services) to find
X11.app. It then does a funky execv() trick to execute /usr/X11/bin/
XQuartz, but tell it the execuatable is in the X11.app package. This
is esentially how we get XQuartz to have the menu, icon, localization,
etc.
So in your case, you're actually using the latest XQuartz, but you're
using the old menu, localization, etc. I'd just delete ~scm/
Applications/Utilities/X11.app
Also, does this 'ps' output correspond to when you have 2 X11 icons?
It looks like you should only have one.

Hmm... are you setting this anywhere in your {/etc/,~/.}
{profile,bashrc}?
Thank you so much for your fast response - you were right about X11.app - I am not sure how I got it there, when I always launched it from /Application/Utilities ?!? I got rid of the ~ one, anyway (scm-leop:~ scm$ rm -fR ~/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/ )
scm-leop:~ scm$ sudo grep -r DISPLAY /etc/*
/etc/sudoers:Defaults env_keep += "DISPLAY XAUTHORIZATION XAUTHORITY"
scm-leop:~ scm$ grep DISPLAY ./.*
./.bash_history:echo $DISPLAY
./.profile:export DISPLAY=:0.0
./.viminfo: export DISPLAY=:0.0
Should I get rid of the .profile entry for $DISPLAY?
Thanks again,
Stefan
