New description:

 On mountain-lion one may not, by fiat, install xorg-server.
 Thus one is then instructed to install xorg-server-legacy.

 This installs but does not work.
 You run it, hoping to run all your xserver apps like NEdit.
 And then.

 Nothing can get a screen anyway.
 So you're like "maybe I should just longboard or something"

 You then pull up an xterm
 It segfaults.

 Mountain Lion.
