[Xquartz-dev] 2.1.2 release candidate

Hmm... I'm concerned about this... I have one machine that I've only  
been installing these packages on.  I did this rc on top of 2.1.1 and  
it worked fine.  I don't see why doing it over the released leopard  
would cause a problem.  Did you reboot after installing 2.1.2?  And  
after installing 2.1.1?  Can you see if you have anything in your logs  
that will help (you should be able to find it in Console.app if you  
remember what time you did this at).

Thanks,
Jeremy
