You're not the only one having problems with IDL and MacX. If I can
successfuly get an IDL session started under MacX, it will continue to
work. Unfortunately, it usually takes me several tries through the
following procedure:
1. Start VersaTerm Pro
2. Start MacX
3. Start IDL from VT Pro
4. Try to open X-window from IDL
5. Did it work?
Yes --> Don't quit IDL!
No --> Quit MacX. Goto 2.
When it fails to open an X-window, it kill all my other X clients as well.
When it fails it generates:
csrp>idl

I have reported this to RSI (some time ago), but have gotten no response.
It may be a MacX problem. I am considering going back to MacX 1.1.7, if I
can find a copy.
