Upgrading from XQuartz from 2.7.9 to 2.7.11 on macOS Sierra broke IDL
widgets for me:

~$ idl
IDL Version 8.5.1, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64).
(c) 2015, Exelis Visual Information Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary
of Harris Corporation.

IDL> xloadct
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "dsm" to parent "idl" which
supports only widgets

The fix that worked for me were the following two commands:

sudo mv /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib{,.bak}
sudo cp /opt/X11/lib{/flat_namespace,}/libXt.6.dylib

[Downgrading] to 2.7.9 (but not 2.7.10) also worked for me.

[Downgrading]: https://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html "XQuartz -
Releases"
