Mac OS X 10.5

Hello!

I'm trying to run XFCE on Mac OS X 10.5 (with Leopard X11 2.2.3) using MacPorts. Installation was ok, but i can't run it because of some errors.

~/.xinitrc:

exec /opt/local/bin/startxfce4

And when I try to startx, output shows following errors:

xinit: Detected Xquartz startup, setting file=X, argv[0]=/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
Xquartz starting:

Re: Mac OS X 10.5

I doubt this has anything to do with Xfce... seems like a basic XOrg problem

Re: Mac OS X 10.5

or a miscompiled/misinstalled xfce. there's a clear xfdesktop startup error indicating something went wrong at compilation/installation time.
