Yep, sit tight. I hope to have a 2.7.3_rc1 out in the next week or so to address some quirky issues found in ML. I believe this will be fixed by that change and ask you to confirm if it is fixed or not once it is available.
Does this include problems with it not being able to find itself by bundle ID? We've had a couple of those pop up in IRC while you weren't around; I advised one of the people involved to post here but haven't seen that happen since (the other person solved it themselves while I was backlogged). This time it didn't have a "oh but I uninstalled it at one point" involved, but was a fresh install.
[31 21:15] <killfoo> hi! i;ve installed xquartz and rebooted my notebook. afterwards i started wireshark - it asks for the location of the x11 installation. where do i have to point at?
[31 21:18] <geekosaur> weird. it should find it itself. (xquartz is in /opt/X11, vs. /usr/X11 for Lion-and-earlier X11.app and /opt/local for MacPorts' version of XQuartz)
[31 21:19] <geekosaur> actually if I had to guess, it's looking for the bundle, which is /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app in a default install
[31 21:20] <killfoo> geekosaur thx for answering. im using mountain lion. does this change anything?
[31 21:20] <geekosaur> it shouldn't, no.
[31 21:20] <killfoo> is it recommended to isntall via macports? I use macports anyway..
[31 21:22] <geekosaur> it is neoither recommended nor discouraged, but in general the xquartz installer is friendlier because it deals with the launchd stuff for you (which is why you need to log out or reboot afterward; some of that needs to be run during login)
[31 21:22] <geekosaur> that said, we're still running into little bobbles with mountain lion...
[31 21:22] <killfoo> i see
[31 21:22] <killfoo> true :)
[31 21:22] <geekosaur> hm, jeremy's not around :( he'd know more about it
[31 21:23] <killfoo> hm i cannot select any binary from /opt/X11/bin/
[31 21:24] <geekosaur> right, sounds like it wants a bundle. so the other one instead
[31 21:25] <killfoo> true. but where is this?
[31 21:25] <geekosaur> find XQuartz.app, which should be in /Applications or /Applications/Utilities
[31 21:25] <geekosaur> normally
[31 21:25] <geekosaur> but if necessary you can use spotlight to find it, or even open a terminal and "find / -iname xquartz.app"
[31 21:26] <killfoo> yeah i found it in /Applications/Utilities
[31 21:26] <geekosaur> if it still doesn't like it then something else is wrong, unfortunately you're beyond my understanding of it at that point. might idle in here and see if jeremyhu shows up
[31 21:27] <killfoo> no problem - thank you anyway. i try a last attempt to start xquartz and wireshark
[31 21:28] <geekosaur> or post to email@hidden
[31 21:28] <geekosaur> (may need to subscribe forst for antispam reasons)
[31 21:29] <killfoo> no it works :) after starting wireshark via spotlight, xquartz starts xterm. when i type wireshark it starts and seems to work so far :)
[31 21:30] <geekosaur> ok. that's interesting. I think you might post that to the list anyway, as this is the second time we've had a mountain lion related "can't find xquartz by its bundle id" come up (that I've seen, at least)
[31 21:30] <killfoo> kk
