May 9, 2014 7:14 AM in response to Dwilkinson28by varjak paw,It depends on where you get it. If you get it here:
https://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
then yes, it's safe at least as far as containing malware is concerned. I can't vouch for the stability of the software, though it's the project Apple points people to who need X11 for Mavericks.
If you get it elsewhere, then all bets are off.
