How do I remove x11?
I installed x11 to use with GIMP, but have since "upgraded" to Adobe CS. I would like to remove x11 from my system. Does anyone know how to do this?

hi again,
yes, but it'll be a lot more work than the recipe i suggest below.......
1. double-click on Applications > Utilities > Terminal
2. a 'terminal" window will pop up, it has a prompt (like DOS or basic UNIX). hit return a few times - you just get another prompt.
3. cut/paste the following line from this thread into this terminal window
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11/ /usr/X11R6/
and hit return again.
4. enter your admin password and hit return
it's done. hit command-Q to quit terminal... cheers
