It Works!! Why??
Background: I have several partitions on several drives with 10.4 through 10.7. Nowadays I normally work in 10.7 but due to needing to test some other software issues, I needed to boot into 10.6. That's when I discovered that X11/XQuartz wouldn't launch.
After sending out my reply email this morning I booted back into 10.7 to get some other work done there.
Later when I received your reply, Jeremy, I booted back into 10.6.6 to run these test you sent and now I find it is working.
I know it sounds crazy, but I am disappointed that it is now working without knowing *why*. I was hoping to learn how to track down the real issues behind the problem and fix them. I have come across so many people who cannot get commercially 'packaged' "Wined" apps to work, e.g. GIMP, theWord, because X11/XQuartz ain't working right.
Oh well....
