Ah, sorry. I missed the two words "and greater".
I'm just wondering if Macports builds (especially wine builds) will work better with a more recent X11 binary.
Tangentially, how do I go about uninstalling XQuartz 2.5 beta one? I'm not so sure if running two x11 distributions side by side is optimal for using Macports distributions.
Thank you very much.
