Hi, I just installed XQuartz 2.7.11 today on a fresh Mac running Mojave 10.14.2. I installed XQuartz from the XQuartz.pkg found in the disk image (dmg) file on the XQuartz support site: https://www.xquartz.org/
I didn't have any problems installing and then later running XQuartz. However, on Mojave, there was an interesting alert panel which appeared during the pkg installation process which I have not seen on previous versions of macOS when installing XQuartz, which alert panel with two buttons, one which stated "Don't Allow" and the other stated "OK", and text which stated the following: "Installer.app" wants access to control "System Events.app". Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in "System Events.app", and to perform actions within that app. I didn't know what to do so I waited. There must have been a timeout because the panel disappeared on its own without me making a selection. The package installer process then finished on its own and stated XQuartz had been installed successfully. I was then able to run XQuartz without any issues. Interestingly, when I now run System Preferences and select Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Automation there is an entry for "Installer.app" and underneath a check box next to "System Events.app". The check box is unchecked. I gather this all has something to do with changes to Mojave's security and privacy settings. Has anyone else seen this with or without XQuartz involved? If so, any ideas of what this means? Thanks, -T.M. On Fri, Nov 23, 2018 at 8:37 PM Ken Cunningham < ken.cunningham.web...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Nov 23, 2018, at 9:52 PM, Randolph M.
