Hi,
I used the X11 server that comes with Mac OS X on 10.5.8:
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app. I had successfully installed the gnome bundle.
Starting gedit and other gnome applications, e.g. gnome-terminal, X11 crashed.
Looking in the Mac OS X crash report I found
Thread 2 Crashed:
0 X11.bin 090x0001f994 RootlessGlyphs 112
Searching the web I found a ticket for MacPorts
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31869 with a similar error description and the
recommendation to switch to XQuartz 2.6.3
So I tried and over installed XQuartz 2.6.3. On reinstallation of the gnome
bundle I ran into another problem caused by a leftover of Apple X11. It could
fix it, thanks to a related fink ticket I've found, by renaming
/usr/X11/bin/xmkmf.
Now I have XQuartz 2.6.3 running, which is the latest version for Leopard, and
the gnome gtk-based applications work fine! - I'v also tested XQuartz 2.4.0,
which brings the latest Apple related/named X11 server Xquartz-1.5.3-apple14,
but this resulted in the same crash as before.
Question: is XQuartz 2.6.3 now a prerequisite to use fink on Leopard with gnome
gtk-based applications?
