 could it be some python problem?

 top window has come and gone over the various Xquartz releases. I know of
 few programs that will stress the GLx support in Xquartz like pymol. One
 issue that we have grappled with over the years is that the code can
 enable the stereoscopic mode on graphics cards which isn't implemented
 across all of them in the Apple video drivers.

 issue that solves isn't a startup glitch but display artifacts as it keeps
 pymol from detecting and using the stereoscopic support in the video card.



 relax seems to work, at least python is responsive and the program looks
 and probably works ok. I ran a few of the diagnosis steps and they all
 worked.

 python -M I already tried without luck.
