Comment(by mcalhoun at macports.org):

 With a clean install of XQuartz, there is no libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib.[[BR]]
 This is not an error, but, as noted in the original comments, glib2 will
 not build.

 Attached is a proposed fix.[[BR]]
 Since glib2 is listed as openmaintainer, I can make the change easily
 enough if there are no objections.

 The new glib2 just removes the offending code.[[BR]]
 I can add an entry LeopardProblems section of the Wiki in case some future
 user runs into the problem.[[BR]]
 Having never run into this, let me make sure I understand:
    * The problem arises on certain default Leopard X11 installations.
    * The problem can be solved by upgrading to the latest XQuartz (or does
 one have to delete the .la files first?).
