(Actually, the packages that are installed by applex11tools -do- work with Apple's X11 (since their files came from it)) You can probably just flush out your old X11 setup and then install xorg, xorg-shlibs, and applex11tools again (if desired). Check out the command in the first box under http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php#special-x11-debug That should flush everything X11-related for you. -- Alexander K.
