Are your /tmp permissions messed up? 1) Any user should be able to mkdir(/tmp/.X11-unix) if it isn't present. 2) root should be creating and sanitizing /tmp/.X11-unix via org.macosforge.xquartz.privileged_startx > … > > Now, as I relax and catch my breath, > I think we will still have a problem.

The org.macosforge.xquartz.privileged_startx LaunchDaemon, which is triggered by running /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/privileged_startx from /opt/X11/bin/startx from the org.macosforge.xquartz.startx LaunchAgent. > What should we do in this case, please? My guess is fix your /tmp permissions. _______________________________________________ Xquartz-dev mailing list Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/xquartz-dev
