I saw the dialogue, but from what I remember it advised you to log out and back in if it was the first time you installed XQuartz (which it wasn't in my case).

More precisely, when I launch it (by double-clicking on its icon) the program’s icon keeps bouncing in the Dock for a few minutes until it eventually stops, but nothing happens (i.e., no xterm window opens, and launching xterm from Terminal.app does not work either). The old version worked without problems, so I assume that there is some kind of incompatibility between 10.12.1 (and/or some other stuff in my setup) and the new version. Does anybody have any idea what may be going on?
