XQuartz must be reinstalled after every OSX system update. It does not
coexist, but replaces the official release. Also, the official X11 release
with OSX will overwrite any changes made by installing XQuartz.

The official OSX release of X11 occasionally picks up changes from the
XQuartz project, but on a slower timeline...so an OSX system update will
sometimes *downgrade* your X11 system.
