Ok ... so I did %> repeat 5000 sh -c "ls -altr /tmp/ | fgrep X11" | & fgrep -v Exit and then clicked the XQuartz icon in the Dock. No output. XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 and /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 are identical, and I have no ~/.x11run . Additional observations: - MacPorts' X11.app doesn't execute my ~/.xinitrc (what keeps it running then?!) - MacPorts' X11.app does create /tmp/.X11-unix/ but it has a socket called X0 in there - it sets DISPLAY=:0 but /opt/local/bin/xterm won't connect to that display; /opt/X11/bin/xterm will - `ln -s X0 /tmp/.X11-unix/0` doesn't change that In addition, when I start /opt/X11/bin/xterm via X11.app's Application menu and then exit it, X11.app hangs. Let me just repeat that I haven't changed anything in my .login, .xinitrc and other personal session-startup scripts since moving my 10.6 install to a VM, and I am quite sure I didn't have this issue with Parallels Desktop 9 . Anyway, using localhost:0.0 instead of :0.0 appears to be fix that allows what little use for X11 I have on that VM. As long as that's the case, the issue is rather academic to me.
