I know nothing about the Mac situation other than what I read, but according to http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki "The Xquartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.org X Window System that runs on Mac OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple has shipped with OS X since version 10.5." That sounds to me like Xquartz is the X11 that Apple ships with newer versions. Or is the above claim on the Xquartz site too strong (or being interpreted too strongly by me)? > > If it isn't going to work for most people on OS-X then I think we should > probably set pthread=off by default. If it turns out that (a) Xquartz is not the standard version of X for the latest Apple, and (b) the standard version of X on the latest Apple has the problem you found, then yes, you should turn off threading by default for Mac (but, of course, leave it on for other platforms such as Linux).
