Comment 7 for bug 433281

Yes - AFAIK there have been major changes in X11/XQuartz since Tiger. Helpful resources (if you are interested in details) could be
- the X11-users mailinglist: <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/x11-users>
- the X11-users mailinglist archives: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/X11-users>
- <http://xquartz.macosforge.org>: "The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.org X Window System that runs on Mac OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple has shipped with OS X since version 10.5. "

I will close this report as it is an issue with the X11 configuration and not bug in Inkscape. If you don't agree please add a comment and revert the bug status.
