Retreating to MacX 1.1.7 has fixed essentially all problems for me.
The procedure becomes complex for those with new machines like quadras.
For these machines, 1.1.7 seems to have a bug in not being able to save
settings files with logins, xterms command lines, etc.
For those with such new machines, the procedure seems to be
(1) set up MacX using 1.2, but using the 1.1.7 protocol for displays:
:0.0 -> B/W rootless
:0.1 -> B/W rooted
:0.2 -> Color rootless
:0.3 -> Color rooted
Use the newest MacTCP, etc.
Obviously, set MacX to respond to displays other than :0.0
(2) Save settings, and remove MacX 1.2 the application but not MacTCP,
or settings
(3) Copy in MacX 1.1.7 and run it.
(4) Run IDL; the only remaining difficulties are in chosing colors. I
like -84, but nothing is perfectly satisfactory.
Retreating to MacX 1.1.7 fixed the problems for me, too. I got a copy
from Apple by calling 1-800-767-2775, explaining the problem to them,
and sending some proof that I had purchased MacX 1.2.
