This is usually a symptom of bad shell init scripts. Try moving those aside and trying again.
Thanks. My shell had been bash. I changed it to zsh: paulgilm@mbp-paulgilm ~ % echo $0 $SHELL -zsh /bin/zsh And moved all the following to a "hidden" directory: paulgilm@mbp-paulgilm ~ % ls -al ~/hidden total 112 drwxr-xr-x 10 paulgilm staff 320 Aug 19 10:44 . drwx--x--x+ 133 paulgilm staff 4256 Aug 19 11:12 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm staff 524 Aug 14 18:25 .envrc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 415 Mar 5 2014 .kshrc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 13194 Sep 1 2003 .lynxrc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 230 Jun 6 2017 .netrc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 23 Nov 29 2007 .nsmbrc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 19700 Dec 25 2007 .pinerc -rw-r--r-- 1 paulgilm admin 73 Dec 26 2004 .sversionrc lrwxr-xr-x 1 paulgilm admin 10 Sep 12 2020 .vimrc -> bin/.vimrc paulgilm@mbp-paulgilm ~ % should there be others? Activity monitor (I had already forced X11.bin) shows: zsh XprotectService XProtectPluginService XProtectPluginService XProtectPluginService XProtect XProtect XProtect xinit writeconfig WorldClockWidget
Also, you could open up Terminal.app and run /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin to see if that works. If so, that strongly points to an issue with your shell init scripts.
I'll log off, log on, and try again. And, it's even worse: I thought this problem had vanished with an XQuartz upgrade, but: I have installed XQuartz (X11). It works OK on my admin account and on Guest User. If I try to launch it on my usual non-admin account it doesn't launch; every 10 seconds it appears in Dock and immediately vanishes, and any pulldown I have open closes. -- Thanks, gil _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
