Comment(by aszy@…):

 Replying to [comment:21 ryandesign@…]:
 > MacPorts should not be using Apple's X11 anymore; we have our own. If
 you are not already using it, you may want to use the X11.app installed in
 /Applications/MacPorts by the xorg-server port (and also install the
 quartz-wm port) instead of using the X11.app installed by Apple in
 /Applications/Utilities.

 Thank you for this tip - I wonder if most of the troubles have been using
 a different version of X11.
 Can I safely and securely have both Apple's X11 and the X11.app from
 MacPorts installed?
 Any known clashes? Any trouble with having the quartz-wm port for the
 X11.app interfering with the Apple X11.
