That actually brings up a question I have for the MacPorts community.
Do ports that depend on X11 ports from MacPorts not open X windows
using the MacPorts-provided X server? That is, to show this plot, it
seems to open up in the System X11 (judging from the icon in the dock,
which is different from that of /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app). I
don't have XQuartz 2.4.0 installed in order to replicate this error,
but why should this cause an issue (if it is the issue) for David?
