There's no server showing with ps.
locate finds /tmp/.X2-lock:
   /tmp
   /tmp/.X11-unix
   /tmp/.X11-unix/X2
   /tmp/.X2-lock
   /tmp/locate.list.5096

but ll does not.

total 5
drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel  512 Jul  3 21:58 .ICE-unix
drwxrwxrwt  2 root  wheel  512 Jul  3 21:58 .X11-unix
drwx------  2 root  wheel  512 Jul  2 14:07 kde-root
drwx------  2 root  wheel  512 Jul  3 21:58 ksocket-root
drwx------  3 root  wheel  512 Jul  3 21:58 mcop-root

So I can't remove it?

I've compiled another program to see if it occured but it compiled
without a problem. So I tried openoffice again with the same result.

Why? Perhaps it's openoffice.

What tools can I use to get closer to examining this, if any. xpop
and xwininfo don't help and I'm confused about my approach.

Please point me in the right direction.
