That is wrong.  It should be something like:

/tmp/launch-31i9qn/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

That is the correct $DISPLAY

> The odd thing (to me) is that xterms work fine, and surely it needs to know the correct DISPLAY.  Also, another poster mentioned that on his system, his display includes the directory.  I have checked my startup files (.tcshrc and xstartup); neither sets the display.  This is a new MBP, so there shouldn't be other things interfering, plus beta1 (and the last update release) both work.


Can you try creating a new user account:

Install 2.5.1_beta2.
Create a new user in User Preferences
Log out as the current user and log in as the other (or use FUS)
Launch XQuartz.app
