I'm using OS X 10.4.3 but may have upgraded OS after installing X11. I
installed Xcode Tools from Installer Disk 1 (Mac OS version 10.4, AHT
version 2.5, Disc version 1.1, 2Z691-5518-A) and X11 works.

I had help from the octave-help-list with respect to .bashprofile and
.bashrc (see below and also recent post by Joe Koski; files are best
connected via symbolic link if this is the correct terminology).

[~] -bash-2.05b 505$ cat .bash_profile
cut
export GNUTERM=aqua
export DISPLAY=:0.0
cut
