The following steps should work to build the Xquartz that comes with

on Tiger, too, but is much more difficult and the subject for another
conversation.)

If I have the Leopard X11 installed, I don't need this pkg-config,
right? It's the same version.

As an added bonus, I applied the yellow-cursor-fix patch that I dropped
on the floor and it's present in that source tree. A compiled version
of that binary is available at
http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/Xquartz-cursorfix.bz2.
I'd be interested in hearing if that binary fixes the cursor problem (I
still have never successfully reproduced the problem, and not for lack
of trying). I would also like to hear if those instructions work, and I
would love any other patches thrown my way, too.
Your instructions work perfectly. Less than 10 minutes to get a new
Xquartz.
Both the self-compiled Xquartz and your precompiled one fix the
yellow-cursor problem for me. I am testing it with gcompris (available
from Fink), where it is particularly blatant.
For a message to this list a couple of months ago I made screenshots
with the good and the bad cursor colors:
Here are two screenshots of the gcompris window showing the mouse
pointer in the form of an eraser tool (the sponge in the rectangle left
of the center):

Thanks for fixing this so quickly. Now to the mouse button emulation... :-)
