Description Randall Wood 2007-11-22 02:10:22 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
On Mac OS X 10.4.11, I have built and am running GIMP on a system without a working X11 installed. Gimp.app fails to launch gimp in these circumstances, attempting to open X11, when X11 is not a requirement for the successful launch and operation of GIMP.

Steps to reproduce:
1. remove X11
2. build gimp per http://shyramblings.blogspot.com/2007/11/gimp-on-mac-os-x-without-x11-from.html
3. double click on gimp.app in the Finder


Actual results:
Gimp.app throws an error complaining that X11 can not be found and is required

Expected results:
Gimp.app opens GIMP

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I built GIMP, Gimp.app, and their dependencies using the MacPorts porting system.
Comment 1 Randall Wood 2007-11-22 03:08:14 UTC 
After I reported this, it was pointed out to me that Gimp.app is not part of the gimp project, but is a separate project at http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ and that there is a workaround available in MacPorts (sudo port install gimp-app +quartz if you are interested)

Sorry about the noise.
