Comment 1 for bug 498710

1) How do you start Inkscape?
 - by double-clicking its application icon in the finder?
 - by double-clicking a SVG file in the finder?
 - on the command-line or from a script?
2) Does X11 launch when you start Inkscape?
 - does it change if you launch X11 first, then Inkscape?
