That a function bootstrap_strerror() is used. It's not defined in Tiger. You patched xserver ? la:

#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= 1050 fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %s\n", bootstrap_strerror(kr)); #else fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %ul\n", (unsigned long)kr); #endif

That clearly doesn't run bootstrap_strerror() on Tiger. Further, I have this running on Tiger right now... do you have the latest git?

Yes, I have!

And yes, you're right: it's really xinit that has an idea of Launch Service. My memory was a bit in disorder. Christmas, the changing weather, TV programme ...
