A couple of reboots of the VM later, and this issue is back: applications using the Xt from MacPorts won't connect to an X server on :0 or :0.0. The error:
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0
Note that this is not a "connection refused" error.
This time I've done some more forensics, and unloaded the new org.macports.startx and (ooold!) org.x.startx plists from launchctl, just like I always did with the one from XQuartz.
That in itself didn't make any difference, but it is still the case that all applications can connect to a 2nd X server at :1 or :1.0, even those using the Xt from MacPorts.
Interestingly, everyone can also connect to the server at :0 when I use DISPLAY=localhost:0 (which should be the same ...)
That at least gives me a workaround fix in my .xinitrc, but I'd love to get to the bottom of this.
I've been seeing this message in my system.log after logging in, could it be related?
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[153]: The address for `localhost' is a loopback address, not allowed!
I'm not sure what this message means, I think /etc/hosts should have a line "127.0.0.1 localhost" like it's always had, and I can't recall ever having seen this message before.
Thanks,
R.
