I first removed the first one, and tried to run xterm in the terminal --- the same problem persisted (i.e, xterm did not start and only the X icon kept coming back in the dock). Most importantly, it did not recreate the lock file!!!I deleted the other file, .X0-lock too --- and I saw no effect and neither was this lock file recreated when I tried to run xterm again.[From my other account (where X11 apps still run flawlessly) on the same machine, I can see that if I launch xterm, it creates .X0-lock in /tmp. Now it makes me wonder what actually created .X1-lock in the first place!!! Well, for the time being, I am happy with it assuming some other X11 app did that!]Thanks for your reply!</blockquote>
