#39129: xinit: X11.app does not start automatically on Mountain Lion
-----------------------+------------------------
 Reporter:  aronnax@…  |      Owner:  jeremyhu@…
     Type:  defect     |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal     |  Milestone:
Component:  ports      |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:             |       Port:  xinit
-----------------------+------------------------
 X11.app does not start automatically when launching an X application from
 Terminal because the LaunchAgent is disabled by default. This patch
 enables the LaunchAgent by default on OS X 10.6.3 and later, by just
 omitting the patchfile {{{disable-launchagent.patch}}}.

 Now, in the activate stage, Snow Leopard pre-10.6.3 users will see:
 {{{
 ###############################################################################
 # To choose MacPorts' X11 as the default server, you must install xorg-
 server,
 # load the LaunchAgent, logout, and log back in.  To load the LaunchAgent,
 # please execute the following:
 #
 # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist
 #
 # This will be remembered across port updates on Snow Leopard and later.
 #
 # Note that doing so on your OS version may make the Apple-provided
 version
 # fail to launch.
 ###############################################################################
 }}}

 But users of 10.6.3 and later will see simply:
 {{{
 ###############################################################################
 # To choose MacPorts' X11 as the default server, you must install xorg-
 server,
 # logout, and log back in.
 ###############################################################################
 }}}
