I don't see how an invalid command in your .bashrc could cause X to
crash. That is just bizzare... do you have the crash log?
What happens when you do the following from within Terminal.app:
defaults write org.x.X11 app_to_run /usr/bin/true
xdpyinfo
Can you please provide the entire output of your log that results from
running xdpyinfo above.
Thanks,
Jeremy

I have the newest Xquartz, and the problem is still there.

Nope... it works fine for me.
Do you have a custom ~/.xinitrc? If so, can you please move it
aside and try again?

Hi,
I've had some problems upgrading to the newest versions of
Xquartz, due to the presence of "readline" initialization in my
bash_profile. The offending command was
set bell-style visible
which caused Xquartz to crash with the error message :
xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server
"/tmp/launch-8C8kTO/:0"
and /var/log/system.log says:
xterm: bad command line option "xterm"
On my system this behaviour is consistent (adding the above
command in .bash_profile, quitting X11 and restarting with
"xterm" in terminal.app then Xquartz will crash). It would be nice
if someone else can confirm this as well - I have seen other
people have had similar problems, for instance: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=445567
.
As I understand (now) the proper place for these commands are in
the ~/.inputrc file, but is it possible to avoid Xquartz crashing
like this? Or maybe add a tip to the FAQ?
I have attached the system.log output below
Best Regards,
Knut Liseter
