No problem. Is there a way to access this list via someplace like
Gmane.org?

I don't know if there's anything interesting in there or not! LOL
There are a ton of error messages stating:

So it looks like you partially deleted XQuartz (at least some of /opt/X11 isn't

Hot darn, it runs!!! As does Inkscape! Thank you!
Can you try launching X11 itself from /Applications/Utilities/X11.app?
I get the X11 menus in the menu bar on the screen. Is this what you are interested in knowing?
Yes, and I assume it works (ie: you can run an application from the Applications menu).
Can you try launching an xterm from within Terminal.app?
I do not know how to do this, but usually really good at following instructions. LOL
Open Terminal.app. Then type 'xterm' at the prompt and hit enter.
Unless there is something else you're interested in checking out, which
I'm willing to do, I'll skip most of the rest of your response, except
for these notes.
If I open XQuartz, a window labeled xterm opens with "bash-3.2$"
displayed. There is another character that should display, but the is
nothing in the font for that character, so I have the proverbial empty
box. :-)
Well, your system.log file just shows that you followed the advise of someone who told
> you to shoot yourself in the foot, so let's now try to fix it...
At least no amputation was needed. :-)
Thanks, again, Jeremy.
