Hi,
I'm having a problem. I had to quit Xquartz, due to not being able to resolve stuck Caps Lock key issues. Now I can't restart it, or at least, it restarts if I click on the X11 icon, but any attempt to open an xterm results in the error:
Xlib: connection to "/tmp/launch-cQnghr/:0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key xterm Xt error: Can't open display: /tmp/launch-cQnghr/:0
This sounds similar to what I observe with 2.3.0-rc4: The automatic startup of X11 does no longer work.
If I start an X11 client while X11 is not running, the X server starts up, but the client does not start. Instead, I get a message
I am not observing this. With X11 not running, running xterm from Terminal.app causes the xterm to run fine even with authenticated connections. Can you please try to debug this a bit more or provide additional information that will help narrow this down?
