Just a quick note from Tracy Faulk regarding a possible conflict with CrossOver. He writes:

If users have CrossOver version 7.1.0 or older they will need to upgrade to a newer version. If they install X11 with an older version of CrossOver the application will open and then immediately close. The CrossOver support team notes,

“XQuartz 2.3.3.2 changed a component (quartz-wm) on which CrossOver relies such that it doesn’t work. We released CrossOver 7.1.2 back in May to address this incompatibility. Of course, we’ve also released CrossOver 8 since then, too.”

I installed the latest version of CrossOver (8.0) and your latest package on the same machine with no conflicts or problems. However, as noted, if a user has version 7.1.0 or older there will be a conflict—not with your package, but rather with X11.

How to resolve the conflict

I’d suggest installing X11 on Leopard 10.5 machines and also upgrading your CrossOver (free download for registered users with a valid serial number) plus you don’t need to re-install any CrossOver apps you may be running. I have your package of Watchtower Library for Mac and the CrossOver installation of Watchtower library running side by side with no problems (on Leopard 10.5) after I upgraded the CrossOver version.

Thanks and hope this helps!
