This is exactly the symptom I've been experiencing (see my preceding post for 2.3.0-rc3) and that I (wrongly) believed to be related to a crash of the server that occured a short time before. I still have the problem with 2.3.0-rc4 on two different PPC macs under 10.5.3 (note that if I deselect the "authenticate connexions" checkbox, the problem disappears). I also installed 2.3.0-rc4 on an intel mac : works as expected there !!! Vincent. Le 15 juin 08 à 20:46, Martin Costabel a écrit :

Could this be caused by something stale being left behind and not having been cleaned up in /tmp/ ?
Not in /tmp/ in any case. I rebooted, which cleaned /tmp/ out and repopulated it with a couple of launch* things. The problem is still there.
Then I installed X11-2.2.1, logout/login: Problem gone; Then I reinstalled X11-2.3.0-rc4, logout/login: Problem reappears.
I tried it from a different, completely standard, user account: Same problem.
