Description
I have 10.5.5 and just downloaded and installed the 2.3.1 package. Now X11 fails to start. If I launch it from Finder, it eventually sits in the Dock with a "Not Responding" status. If I launch with startx, I get the following:
font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches font_cache: Updating FC cache xauth: creating new authority file /Users/jmitchell/.serverauth.53302 Xquartz: X11.app = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 Xquartz: Starting X server: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 --listenonly X11.app: main(): argc=2 argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 argv[1] = --listenonly Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.

...and it just sits there. Nothing can connect to it.
Thanks in advance.

This might be the same deadlock that I've seen on startup, but I need a trace of the process to see...
Note: See

Do you have a custom ~/.xinitrc file?
Can you please 'trace' the X11.app process?
