Martin,
Well, the problem is that the bulk (if not all)
of X11 Xquartz will likely appear in a future software
update of the X11 components from Apple. This really
the main reason I moved over to MacPorts. A number of
times in the past X11 Xquartz changes have broken pymol
and I don't want to see us all get blindsided by an
incompatible X11 update from Apple via Software Updates.
For example, my initial attempts at building molmol
under MacPorts has produced a binary which doesn't
drawn any functional control widgets but just the
rendered molecule. My current hypothesis is that it
isn't their 2.3.1 openmotif package (which is pretty
much identical to the one we have in fink) but rather
related to the fact that they are using Mesa for their
glut package instead of freeglut. I am going to try
adding a freeglut package to MacPorts and see if building
against that eliminates the bug. Such potential breakage
could end up in the Apple X11 if we aren't testing X11
Xquartz hard enough. FYI.
