Well, maybe, but I *did* direct you to check your .profile file, and not .login 
or .tcshrc. 

If you try 'echo DISPLAY' and it responds with ':0.0' then you still haven't 
found the problem, which for me was found in .profile. 

DarwinPorts under Tiger modified my .profile, and when I upgraded to Leopard, 
this file remained untouched, even though the line is unnecessary. According to 
sao, the moderator over at macosxhints.com, if you DON'T get a DISPLAY value 
starting with '/tmp/launchd' then "you're setting $DISPLAY in some of your 
configuration files and ... throwing away the location of the launchd socket 
that X clients need to know how to use."

When I updated to 2.2.3, the problem didn't go away; it only cleared up when I 
removed that line in .profile.
