Dear all, after few days of testing the 2.5.0_rc1 this is what I've found on my system.log. I followed carefully your instructions and rebooted my system after the new install. As you see in the bottom there are some error messages I never saw before. Please note that I have a system.log in the background of my scree all the time. can someone tell me what is this about? there is apparently something wrong, but I can't tell you what. thanks for your time Aldo Mar 16 18:56:35 titan [0x0-0x5a05a].org.x.X11[15988]: X11.app: main(): argc=2 Mar 16 18:56:35 titan [0x0-0x5a05a].org.x.X11[15988]: argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin Mar 16 18:56:35 titan [0x0-0x5a05a].org.x.X11[15988]: argv[1] = -psn_0_368730 Mar 16 18:56:35 titan [0x0-0x5a05a].org.x.X11[15988]: Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.
