I too, of late, have been having trouble running X apps from Terminal.app. All used to be well until I temporarily switched from Apple's quartz-wm in rootless mode to Window Maker in full screen mode. Upon returning to quartz-wm, I get the following error:

[santorini:~] marc% xclock &
[1] 2556
[santorini:~] marc% Error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0

[1]    Exit 1                        xclock

Now my DISPLAY environment is properly set:

[santorini:~] marc% echo $DISPLAY
localhost:0.0

I do get an error in Console but I do not know if it is related to my problem:

XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1024x768 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!

X apps launch and run just fine from within an xterm.

I use Apple's X11.app.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Marc
