      Uninstall & Re-install it? I had to do this a few times on 10.6, and an older version, but that usually fixed the problem for me.

      Alright, I will try that. I just downloaded the fresh copy from the link and am installing it now. We shall see what happens.

        Is it a crash / restart loop? or just crash?

          Crash / Restart loop. I have to "ignore" and "Don't ReOpen" it to get it out of the loop. Or force quit it.

            Nope, as soon as I start it up after the uninstall/reinstall it crashes.

                  Create a new user account and try launching XQuartz.app as that user.

                    It works fine as a different user. Which tells me something is wrong with the account I am using.

                        There is a xquartz.log file. Looks like the following:

                        argv[0] = /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin

                          Looks like it has an error loading a keymap file. Then it loads the default one...

                              Same error shows up on the other users log file. So it doesn't seem to effect the operation. I will see about changing that though.

                                Ok... oddly it looks like it is working from the local console of the machine and not the VNC connection that was setup. That is new.

                                  Alright this is solved. It is working after the local console logged in then out and then in again. (Even after I rebooted the machine). Macs are weird.
