Hi Pietro,
    I guess this might be a GTK gsettings [1] problem; do you have a  
~/.config/dconf/user [2] file in your home directory? If so, maybe move this 
somewhere else for now and see of Coot opens OK (Is this a $home directory that 
has also been used via NFS or similar on a Linux computer? I don't think a Mac, 
not running Gnome desktop, would create such config files)
Good luck,
Mark

[EXTERNAL]
Dear all,

sorry to bother you all with such mundane headaches - but all of a sudden I 
cannot launch Coot nor ccp4i from the Terminal on my Mac laptop (running MacOS 
Mojave):

[bioch3242-596:~] pietro% coot(coot-bin:15697): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 
g_object_set_valist: object class 'GtkSettings' has no property named 
'gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme'

(Coot does not progress past the window with the coot)

[bioch3242-596:~] pietro% ccp4i
Top level CCP4 directory is /Applications/ccp4-7.1
Using CCP4 programs from /Applications/ccp4-7.1/bin
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  61
  Current serial number in output stream:  63

I suspect something is up with X-Quartz

Any suggestions?

THANKS

Pietro
