DISPLAY blues in 0.2

Hello to all,

First of all, I want to give big thanks for X11 for OSX, a great step forward in my humble opinion.

Having said that, I am experiencing a problem after upgrading to 0.2. Until a few hours ago, I had 0.1, XDarwin, and OroborosX all running fine on my PowerMac with 10.2.3. I was even running X11 and OroborosX at the same time, by playing with DISPLAYs.

I then installed 0.2 and the SDK package, and the problems started. By the way, I do not have a problematic .xinitrc in my home directory.

When clicking on the X11 icon in the dock it starts but, instead of an xterm, I get a white rectangle (no prompt or window frame). Clearly, the lack of frame indicates that quartz-wm has not started, but what about the no-prompt thingy?

I then call up the OSX Terminal, and try to open quartz-wm manually. I get an error message that "cannot open display".

If I then do a "setenv DISPLAY localhost:0" in Terminal, and now I can start quartz-wm manually. From here, everything works fine.

I have no idea where the problem came from, since everything was working fine to start with...

Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

Marcelo
