Comment (by ajf at afco.demon.co.uk):

 The addition of the the line 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' to the '.profile' file
 (as instructed) messes up X11.app v 2.1.3. Specifically, when X11.app is
 double-clicked, two X11 Icons are installed in the dock. It then takes two
 goes of 'cmd-Q' to get X11 to quit. Removing that line from '.profile.
 resolves the X11 problem.

 This raises another question. There was 117MB of stuff in /opt/local/. Now
 is that from the installations of MacPorts, or left over from the failed
 installation of gv?

 I have removed the entire /opt directory for the time being in  order to
 return to the original state of affairs.

 I trust this is clear and look forward to your comments.
