Make sure that you are using the 0.2.1 version of the Apple X11 Beta.

Also, there is a known problem with using the IDLDE with this version of the
Beta. IDL works fine using Object Graphics from the command line. There
are a few workarounds:

- Don't use the IDLDE.
- Use software rendering for object graphics (renderer=1)
- Prevent the IDLDE from forking: (put "idlde*backgroundIdl: False" in your
.idlde file) You can then start the IDLDE with "idlde&" to achieve the same
effect.

There is more information on all this in this newsgroup (thread: X11 0.2.1,
OpenGL and IDL object Graphics) and in the RSI Tech Tips.
