On a hunch, I installed XQuartz 2.7.11, but now I get this when I try to start netsurf-gtk3
bash-3.2$ netsurf-gtk3 dbus[2197]: Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded! Options failed to initialise (BadParameter) Of course, org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is neither loaded nor installed. Using Pacifist, I looked in the XQuartz package, and it is not in there, thus it was not installed.
