Comment(by dersh at alum.mit.edu):

 I looked at how the Inkscape startup script works and I modified the gimp-
 app script to work the same way.  It seems that with 10.5 just executing
 gimp will cause X11 to open fine.  So the attached script checks for an OS
 version.  For older versions (3 or 4) it runs the identical code to what
 was there before, while for 10.5 it just runs gimp.  (The only functional
 changes are to find the OS version and then an if statement to skip part
 of the code).
 I have only tested this on my own system (10.5.4 with XQuartz 2.3.0), but
 it is working fine for me.

 I am not sure exactly where this patch should go in the build process, but
 it should end up replacing:
 /Applications/MacPorts/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/script.  Can someone
 add this fix to gimp-app?

 Thanks,
