I made a final attempt before calling it a day, and discovered that ``` # xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /opt/local/bin/Xquartz :0 -nolisten tcp -iglx ``` gives me a fully functional server, without any of the delays that I get from the 2 other methods shown in my previous message (launching X11.app or invoking startx). I even get the X11.app shell. Fun fact: when I run the `startx` command normally executed by X11.app and then run `xinit` as shown above, `startx` will do its new wait thing, and then succeed to run xinit. IOW, my .xinitrc file is run once more and I get another copy of my default initial environment. It looks like I'm going to have to run the startx script with -x to see where it hangs (I suspect privileged_startx) and what fails... but for now I at least have a simple terminal-based workaround. And how to inject my own `-auth <file>` ... or what kind of risk I run when I run without. I see I don't have privileged_startx on my Linux rig! R.
