I'm experiencing the 'X11 doesn't start' problem noted in some previous posts, but I don't see a clear resolution. Basically, 0.46 (0.45 dev mac osx binary) doesn't start at all, and 0.45 requires X11 to be open already otherwise it asks for X11 to be installed. Anyway -- here's some of the console log messages during a session this morning. If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

Inkscape 0.46 Mac OSX 10.5.2 Intel
Reboot Activate Inkscape Inkscape menu appears but no windows; X11 is not activated
console messages are:

Activate Inkscape Inkscape menu appears but no X11 windows
Console messages similar with a couple of additions, then the Activity Monitor goes a little crazy:

Try to activate Inkscape and X11 several times - same results. Inkscape did actually fire up a couple of days ago, but seemed to freeze a lot on file management tasks. Unfortunately I can't recreate that today.
Go back to 0.45 Activate Inkscape (X11 is open) Inkscape window opens I usually have to have X11 open in order for Inkscape to find it -- been using it this way most of the time. 'Failed to start X11' screen is presented otherwise. Console messages are:

This may shed some light on the X11 problem
