I got caught out by this as well, as did several other people, and I
suspect many others are likely unaware they still need to update.
Given that the likes of Jeremy and Ben, both Apple employees, are
intricately involved, it seems to me that the integrity of the latest
X11 release is on par with the integrity of stuff released by Apple.
Is it unreasonable to say that the X11 community would be better
served if the latest X11 was always bundled with the latest Apple OS X
release? These OS X releases are always widely seeded to beta testers
(I've been on that program several times) and if there are any X11
issues they'll likely be found. If issues are found, then Apple could
stick with the old version, but the more likely scenario is that X11
just keeps on getting better with every Apple OS X release.

Hi-
I'm wanting to upgrade from OSX Leopard 10.5 to 10.5.3, but the
upgrade
seems to break X11. After the upgrade X11 will try to start after
being
launched, but will exit immediately (exit code 0). Launchd will
occasionally try to bring it back up every so often, but it'll only
stay
running for less than a second before it disappears again. Again,
I'm
fairly sure the upgrade was what broke X, but it's also possible that
something that was installed immediately after the upgrade caused the
failure as well.
Can anyone confirm that this isn't a problem specific to this
particular machine, and suggest a fix that doesn't require staying
with
the stock install of 10.5?
Since this is the stock version of X11, it's compiled without
debugging
symbols, but I can post output from GDB (or strace, provided I can
find
it).
