Ive just installed gedit using macports and get this runtime error:

gtk+ always attempts to use the XRandR extension. Jeremy thinks
it's not useful;I think it'd be a good way to let users select
whether the dock and/or menu bar are useful,
How exactly does "select whether the dock and/or menu bar are
useful" fall under Resize and Rotate?
Worded poorly, sorry. Someone asked some time back about being able
to specify if the menubar and/or dock were part of the area available
to X11; XRandR lets you change it dynamically.
not to mention adapting if the OSX monitor(s) are reconfigured
(without XRandR, X11 is incapable of handling size changes).
Uhm... that's not true. We do reconfigure correctly when monitors
are reconfigured (and have since sometime around 2.2.2 I think).
And X clients find out about this how? That's the main reason for
XRandR: without it, the display configuration determined at
XOpenDisplay() time can't be changed (neither are there appropriate
events nor does xcb/xlib update its internal structures).
XRandR isn't about making the server smarter, it's about making
*clients* smarter.
