[Xquartz-dev] Getting bad DISPLAY value during use of 2.6.1-2.6.2 (not with 2.6.0 & before).

Sun Apr 24 09:31:29 PDT 2011

Hello,

I think DISPLAY is getting a weird value on my system here.

We've completely rebooted, and this is still occurring on my system
with any of the 2.6.1-2.6.2 incarnations of Xquartz.
(IIRC this didn't happen with 2.6.0 and earlier.)
Presently I have the beta1 of 2.6.2 installed and trying to get it
started-up here.
(Yes I did re-run the installer for 2.6.2_beta1 after the 10.6.7/etc
system updates.)

The user's env-var matches what launchctl returns:

$ launchctl getenv DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-s9kPWX/org.x:0
$ _

There _IS_ a critter placed there:
$ ls -al /tmp/launch-s9kPWX
total 0
drwx------  2 scifi wheel 102 Apr 24 10:06 .
drwxrwxrwt 11 root  wheel 510 Apr 24 10:33 ..
srwx------  1 scifi wheel   0 Apr 24 10:06 org.x:0
$ _

But I think this DISPLAY value produces the first part of the error
log when I launch Xquartz.app from the Dock:

(Just some random notes here.)

(There is no critter named /tmp/.X11-unix (shown via ls -al) presently
on my system.
The /tmp dir itself does have root:wheel ownership with "drwxrwxrwt"
flags.)

(I have disabled Spotlight via one of the 3rd-party tools.  GNU 'find'
and 'grep' are good enough for me without extra overhead .)

(BTW I have env-vars for T[E]MP[DIR] all set to the
/Volumes/RamDisk/tmp path, in case you're wondering about the
font_cache.lock msg above.)

(When this does work, I'm also still been experiencing my "semi-stuck
H/h" keyboard key as noted in my bugreport #443, now occurring on
10.6.x also -- 'h' tells Pan to show/hide headers on Usenet posts, so
this is rather unnerving for me.)

…

I'm wondering if the _original_ X11 subsystem is somehow inserting its
"org.x" string into DISPLAY, somehow?  But why won't Xquartz fix it?

What should I do, please?

Thank you.
