I completely missed this point in James' mail...but now I read it :) I don't know if this helps or not but this my experience: I personally have x11.app launched at boot and I reboot my pbook only when "software update" asks me, otherwise my machine is always running (and occasionally sleeping). I change network settings 3 to 4 four times a day (at least in the last month) and I never needed to restart X11. As I never experienced a failure I need some clarification from you: what I understand from James' mail is that the problem arises if you start X11 after changing network connection. So, is this a X11 bug or what? If so, it is probably a good idea to fill a bug report to apple. If not, please explain. btw: I agree with James that it is probably a nice idea to check inside tcltk package to check if X11 is available (when tcltk/X11 is needed) and if not ask the user to run X11 before proceeding. stefano > > -thomas > > _______________________________________________ > R-SIG-Mac mailing list > [email protected] > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac > _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
