Like I said, I have XQuartz installed, I just didn't know if it could
coexist with the original Apple X11.....For the record, IDL is using
XQuartz (the XQuartz icon pops up when I use IDL when physically
sitting at the computer) and I have the most recent version installed
(installed after the update to 10.5.7). I guess something could have
been reset or modified during that update, maybe it isn't the apple
update but rather the XQuartz update causing the problems. Obviously
X11 forwarding is still allowed otherwise I couldn't run xterm or
xclock. Could IDL be looking in the wrong place for X and that's why
I can open X windows from the terminal but not from inside IDL? I'm
relatively new to IDL (only been using it for a couple of months) so
I'm not sure how to investigate IDL specific problems.

Thanks for any help.
