swtich back to the default (Xquartz) X11 server

[iulian dragos]

Sorry for the noise. Things went back to normal after I removed the
org.macports.startx launch agent (and a reboot). But it does look like
macports adds its own launch agent for X!

>>> Define "switch". How did you "switch" to the MacPorts X11 in the first place? Normally, MacPorts X11 is only running if you tell it to by opening /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app. You can configure the system to automatically open MacPorts X11. But if you did that, you'd know the commands you entered to do that, and you could follow similar steps to switch back to Apple's/Xquartz's.
