---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 I just upgraded gtk2 from gtk2 @2.14.5_0+darwin_8+x11 to gtk2
 @2.14.7_0+darwin_8+x11 on 10.4.11, XCode 2.5 using MacPorts trunk.

 The build completed successfully but when running a gtk2 based application
 (gimp in this case), the program died with the now
 well known
 {{{
 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local host ???D
 XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Unknown error: 0) on X server ":0.0"
 }}}
 error that is described in #17558.

 After reviewing the ports dependencies, I manually installed the
 following ports which were not required nor installed for the previous
 version of the port
 {{{
 % port installed xorg-libXrandr xorg-libXcursor xorg-libXinerama
 The following ports are currently installed:
   xorg-libXcursor @1.1.9_0 (active)
   xorg-libXinerama @1.0.3_0 (active)
   xorg-libXrandr @1.2.3_0 (active)
 }}}
 and then rebuilt the port.

 The resulting gtk2 allowed gimp to run properly although the program emits
 the following non-fatal warning periodically
 {{{
 Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"
 }}}
 when using the default 10.4.11 X11.app server.

 Note that I am not using the +system_x11 variant.

 Looks like this is the result of the lib style of dependency
 for these libraries coupled with the fact that gtk2 is apparently the only
 port that expresses a dependency upon them and they exist
 in the default Tiger X11 implementation.
 {{{
 % port dependents xorg-libXrandr xorg-libXcursor xorg-libXinerama
 gtk2 depends on xorg-libXrandr
 gtk2 depends on xorg-libXcursor
 gtk2 depends on xorg-libXinerama
 }}}
 The lib dependencies allow the Tiger X11 libraries to satisfy
 the dependency even though the rest of the X11 libraries come
 from ${prefix}/lib.

 Perhaps the dependencies should be changed to port style in
 the default +x11 case (use xorg) and changed to lib style only
 for the +system_x11 case (use Tiger X11).

 Assigning to Jeremy as this looks like
 something in his area of
 expertise with cc to maintainer
