Hi,

I am running OS X 10.5.8 on a dual G4 system. I've installed XQuartz 2.4.0 which works fine for hosting apps on remote machines (via ssh -X) when I am logged in as a local user. When logged in as a network user, XQuartz will try to start but fail several times, then gives up. The system.log reports as below. What can I do to get XQuartz to behave?
