To make the discussion more concrete, here's what happens when running XFig:
$ xfig
Error: Can't open display: /tmp/launch-zx2vZu/org.macports:0
And here's what I see in the system log (a bunch of them):
1/21/11 2:34:40
PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[202] (org.macports.startx[62581])
posix_spawn("/opt/local/bin/startx", ...): No such file or directory
1/21/11 2:34:40
PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[202] (org.macports.startx[62581])
Exited with exit code: 1
any ideas?
