I'm using a different window manager (e16) but everything else is standard. Xquartz 2.5.1, MacOS 10.5.8. The window manager isn't supposed to remove the lockfile, right? Isn't that supposed to be done with xinit? Tying to figure out what to look for. Tom Lane wrote:

So it happens with quartz-wm too, probably not related to my alternative wm. Tom, which OS version? What do our setups have in common that others don't have? Dave
