Do you have $DISPLAY explicitly set to something in your init files?

Hello,
I just wanted to solve the yellow cursor problem, so I installed
X11.app 2.1.3 from
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X112.1.3
Now I have a host of problems:
* from terminal if I type xclock &, it complains that it can't find
the x server and quits (so it doesn't seem like launchd is
working... do I have to do something extra for that?)
* I still see two X icons, I don't see any /usr/X11/X11.app which
is referred to on this page
* if I ssh to a different machine I can use xcalc& (X11 forwarding
both directions) but not emacs. If I try to click on "options" it
crashes X. Then if I try to start X11.app again, nothing works and
I have to restart (probably logout would work).
I upgraded from Tiger and I'm not positive if the Leopard install
was using the leopard or the tiger X11. Since I was confused, I
took the advice of the FAQ above and started over following the
instructions here:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ
for completeness, this is what I did:
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11DocumentationLeo sudo pkgutil
--forget com.apple.pkg.X11User sudo pkgutil --forget
com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo sudo pkgutil --forget org.x.X11.pkg
* Install X11User.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/
Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Install/Optional Installs.mpkg
* Install X11SDK.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/
Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Installs/Xcode Tools/Packages/
* Install the latest X11 package release.
I did that and still no luck. For good measure, I moved /Library/
Applications/X11.app to /Library/Applications/X11_backup.app, and
did the full startover directions again.
Ok... so now I still don't get launchd stuff to work, but if I click
on X11.app it starts X (still 2 icons). Again, things seem to work
ok until I ssh to another machine and run emacs.... which crashes my
X server and I need to logout to get a working X again.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Kyle
