Deleting everything in /tmp is dangerous if you don't know what it's doing. Especially anything prefixed by launch which is launchd-related, and includes how X11 and DISPLAY are handled on 10.5. As for the actual issue you're having, since it sounds like a base X11 problem, your best bet is the X11 users list: <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/x11-users> Bryan > > Thanks, > huw _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
