This may, or may not, be useful to those encountering problems with
X11 since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
(1) I have removed the ~/.xinitrc file that I had created for Mac OS
X 10.4 (Tiger).
(2) I have removed the DISPLAY variable from ~/.bash_profile used in
Tiger.
(3) I have installed the updated libX11.6.dylib identified as a fix
for Gimp.
(4) I have installed the updated Xquartz-1.2a8 binary.
(5) I removed X11.app from the Dock.
(6) I added X11.app to System Preferences>Accounts>Login items.
The last step appears to be necessary to get a window manager active
to avoid a broken pipe when executing the following command from
Terminal.app.
slogin -X -Y -C -o TCPkeepalive=yes raid.my.domain.com
It appears that I will need to modify /etc/sudoers should I want to
spawn WireShark from a Terminal.app window to eliminate the
application from being blocked by the prompt for a password.
After Step (4), WireShark stopped crashing when it reached the end of
the current capture pane. I had built WireShark from the MacPorts
distribution prior to upgrading to Leopard. It hasn't been rebuilt.
