I didn't do anything special to make MacPorts the default X11 server. I was under the impression that it was always starting that one after I installed it. Given that so far I couldn't get anything to work from MacPorts, it's a bit hard to know exactly what X server it tried (and failed) to work with. Currently (after uninstalling xorg-server) when I run a gnome program I see an error (see the original message) that indicates it couldn't open the display. To reformulate: how can I make sure that X applications coming from macports can connect to Apple's X server?
