Personally, I don’t see much point in not just dealing with what Xquartz throws
at us. We didn’t elect to use our own X11 distro at the time 10.5 came out, so
trying to do that now seems like a huge hassle if it is installed in the Fink
tree. Installing outside of the Fink tree will also be a hassle unless we use
/opt/X11, and then we get into the alternative hassle of dealing with manual
overwrites.
