Hi Dean,
Hello from Polytechnique :-)
Is the env variable DISPLAY set somewhere in one of your config files?

I've followed the procedure described elsewhere:
1) remove all traces of X11, including package receipts
2) install X11 from Leopard install disk (optional installs)
3) install X11SDK from "" " " (under Xcode (or
whatever)
4) installed 2.3.1 XQuartz from SourceForge
I can get X started by entering (in Terminal):
/usr/X11/bin/startx
(followup messages below)
X11's menus show up, just can't get any of the x apps (xterm, xeyes,
etc.) to show up
on my screen.
The biggie for me is that I can't run Matlab, which uses X for
windowing. I'm DOA for
science (geophysics) now.
This is true for two different machines (both under 10.5.5), one an
upgrade from 10.4 and
the other not. I do muck around with Mac Ports, etc. to get
compilers, that sort of thing.
Any clues?!
