Thanks a tonne Paul . Once I deleted the ~/.fontconfig directory the ccp4-6.1.3 provided coot.App [0.6 (revision 2540) [with guile 1.8.3 embedded]] launched right up.
So I guess this is a gtk2 or Xquartz peculiarity because the fink compiled coot (0.6.1 (revision 2740) , guile 1.8.2) launched up just fine on the same hardware. I had put the coot.App on all the lab macs and knew it had to be something this strange , because it was not crashing on any other Leopard running mac in the lab. Also thanks Birrane G for suggestions to help troubleshoot.
