Hi

I use Xorg (and everything) built from Darwinports :

xorg-server 1.17.4
quartz-wm 1.3.2
Mac OS 10.11.3
Xcode 7.2.1

I am trying to use Xorg with different Window managers and I am having little 
success. Here is what I did. I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. 
I used the instructions from Darwinports Wiki although they seem not completely 
up-to-date. P.S. I don’t use all of these xinit files at once ...


With XFCE4 : Xorg just crashes

~/.xinitrc.d/90-xfce.sh
exec startxfce4

$ startx
font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches
font_cache: Updating FC cache
font_cache: Done

xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1
/opt/local/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#8), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

/opt/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc: line 113: 25565 Segmentation fault: 11  
xfce4-session
xinit: connection to X server lost

waiting for X server to shut down


With gnome / quartz-wm : I get a error screen telling me to log out and try 
again

WindowMaker : This on seems to work fine at first

~/.xinitrc.d/00-wmaker.sh
USERWM=/opt/local/bin/wmaker

$ startx
font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches
font_cache: Updating FC cache
font_cache: Done
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
xauth:  file /Users/yves/.serverauth.26896 does not exist

xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1
/opt/local/bin/xset:  bad font path element (#8), possible causes are:
    Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
    Directory missing fonts.dir
    Incorrect font server address or syntax

But I try to open xterm through WM’s menu, I get either :

wmaker(27063,0x7fff7b113000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fca25b00288: 
incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being 
freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
/opt/local/bin/wmaker(MonitorLoop(monitor.c:134)): avertissement : Window Maker 
exited due to a crash (signal 6) and will be restarted.

Over and over again each time I try and nothing happens

Or :

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while appending request
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been 
called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
Assertion failed: (! xcb_xlib_unknown_seq_number), function 
append_pending_request, file xcb_io.c, line 161.
/opt/local/bin/wmaker(MonitorLoop(monitor.c:134)): avertissement : Window Maker 
exited due to a crash (signal 6) and will be restarted.

At which point I have a working xterm but WindowMaker is not usable anymore, 
the menu just pops in and out.


Anyway, thanks for any help about that.

yves
