You are likely running into a problem with the newest version of XQuartz. I had the same issue. All widgets were crashing for me. Harris has an article here about it:

Their suggestion of changing the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH will NOT work with OSX El Capitan (and probably Sierra as well), due to a new security feature in OSX related to this:

Your only solution is likely to back out your XQuartz version to 2.7.9 or earlier.
