Just another data point which I saw this after upgrading Catalina to 10.15.2:
After successfully starting X11, if I try to use Spotlight to make X11 be
on the menubar, i.e. switch context to X11, I get
The application "X11" can't be opened
Very weird. Looks like some ACL thing going on. Any thoughts?

Hi guys, This is a very weird problem that I've never seen. I am migrating
from my MacBook Pro 15 running Mojave to my new MacBook Pro 16 running
Catalina.
On Catalina, I have installed both Xquartz and X11 (1.20.6 using MacPorts). I
have found that Xquartz (or X11) cannot context switch context with either
Spotlight or clicking on its icon in its original directory, for example
clicking on the icon in Applications/MacPorts/X11 does activate X11 on the
menubar. The only way to activate Xquartz (or X11) is to click on the Xquartz
(or X11) icon on the DOCK.
Summary of actions on Catalina: (1) Start Xquartz or X11. (2) Xquartz (or
X11) icon appears in DOCK. (3) X11 appears on menubar (4) Switch away to some
other app. (5) Try switching back using Spotlight. Spotlight finds Xquartz (or
X11) but menubar does not switch context to show Xquartz (or X11) menubar. (6)
Try switching back by clicking on original icon that is in
Applications/Utilities/Xquartz (or Applications/MacPorts/X11), menubar does not
switch context to show Xquartz (or X11) menubar. (7) Clicking on Xquartz (or
X11) icon in DOCK switches context successfully. XQuartz (or X11) menubar
appears.
I have never seen this problem prior to Catalina. I have not seen any other app
behave this way as well on Catalina.
This Xquartz and X11 is a complete fresh install and so is there some security
switch that I need to throw to allow the correct context switching for Xquartz?
Has anyone seen this as well? Catalina bug?
Thanks (and Happy Thanksgiving!)
