Your guess/thought apparently is the right answer. Exactly what the
problem/issue is, I haven't yet determined.
Not getting any specific instructions on how to remove X11 and XQuartz,
I took a different troubleshooting route.
I added a new partition to my internal hard drive, and installed a new
copy of Snow Leopard. Then installed Gimp and Inkscape. Both programs ran.
On a parallel observation, the internal drive and partitions displayed
on the desktop.
Returned to my original boot partition, I reinstalled all things Snow
Leopard, then installed and tried to run Gimp and Inkscape. Neither
would run.
That indicates to me, there's a software conflict somewhere, unless some
piece of XQuartz is still hanging around somewhere causing the issue.
To be sure Gimp and Inkscape would still run in the new partition, I
booted into the partition. And they ran.
*But*.... the internal drive/partitions were no longer displaying on the
desktop.
I installed SN to this partition a 2nd time, and still the internal
drive/partitions did not display on the desktop. Something changed the
Finder's preferences, and I know not what. :-(
Now, I'm just pondering the best way to determine what the conflict is
and how to correct it.
