Hi Bill! Don't apologize! You are doing a world of service for the community! I am running the latest and running the Maverick. One thing I found out - if I open Coot through CCP4, from Phenix or directly from an xwindow, the coot window appears but is white and if you read in anything, nothing shows up. If you then "drag" the window, it leaves behind "footprints". If, however, I leave this original Coot window open and start a second Coot session using any of the three methods, i.e. started from within ccp4i, started from within Phenix or started from an xwindow using /usr/local/bin/coot, this second session works fine - black background, can see maps and coordinates, ...
Does that help in diagnosing? It must be something I am doing on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.1 and XQuartz 2.7.5.
