What is a "Wined" app? Seeing as how other X11 applications work fine, I'm inclined to blame your "Wined" app.
A 'Wined' application is a Windows application 'wrapped' a Mac .app package. Some call it 'bottling'.
So, some company or individual has coded it themselves, e.g., GIMP, or taken a product like WineBottler or WineSkin and created a Mac app. Inside the Resource directory resides a fake windows system along with most of, if not all, the Wine components. WineSkin even goes so far as to include a custom version of XQuartz built-in so everything is in one package and is just a drag and drop installation.
I found that my 'Wined' applications were not working because of some component in X11 was not working, like maybe missing or corrupted or whatever. I discovered this by re-installing X11 from the SL install disc. Restarted. Then the Wined apps wanted to use X11. I logged out & in but didn't change the situation.
So I un-installed XQuartz, logged out & in. Re-installed XQuartz, logged out & in. Tried again, but this time the system said it 'couldn't use XQuartz because it wasn't compatible with this version of the OS or it needed to be re-installed again'. So, I reinstalled it again, and logged out & in, and now it works like it should!!
I'm just wondering what would be the best way to do this if it happens again. Should a user un-install XQuartz first or at all? Install X11 then XQuartz?
Any advice would be appreciated.
