Launcher failure

[James Linder]

Hi

I can live with this problem, but if anyone says AH-HA please share:

I built gnome-terminal from fink (2.28.2) and macports (also 2.28.2)
If I run the macport version from cli it starts and the only clutter is:

[haycorn] /Users/jam [501]% /opt/local/bin/gnome-terminal 
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-Nxgx5b/org.x:0".
[haycorn] /Users/jam [502]%

It runs perfectly

If I (try to) start it from my launcher then the log shows this and it won't run:

[dialog]

I can't fool the launcher ie launch xterm spawning gnome-terminal.

Can anyone explain please?
