Gimp stopped working. When I now try to start it, I get a dialogue box
coming up saying

Failed to start X11 - gimp.app requires Apple's X11

X11.app is where it should be, in Applications/Utilities and it starts
up fine manually. I've downloaded and installed the fix X11-2.1.4.pkg as
shown in the Gimp homepage for 10.5.2, but after a restart still no
luck.

Help?

If Gimp is not at the top level in your Applications folder (for
example, if you put it into a Gimp folder inside Applications), some
things will not work. This may not be the source of your problem, but
it's worth keeping in mind.
